NEw ORtEASs BurIETN.-MAHs, &c.-The
time was, ere this valuable paper became Wing,
and when il confined itself to business matters
alone, that we received il in from three to five
days after its date. But since that time il has
varied from even 10 eleven or twelve days;
that dated January Cd reaching here perfectly
safe and useless to US, on the 18th; that dated
the week befOres taking precisely the same
length Of time, and SO on backwards, as Paddy
would say. The Picayune, dated v days
later, always reaches US by the next Friday,
and very often by Wednesday. We merely
mention his for the benefit Of the Bulletin, as
we have quit complaining on our W account,
and take with all thankfulness whatever Cave
Johnson OF our friends send US.

and Ohio Regiments, under Gen. Butler, have
marched CD there; and the Kentucky cavalry
were to march for that point on the esd ult.
Monterey, too, under command Of Col. Gar
land, is considerabi y reinforced. Our inform
ant met, between there and CamargO, the W
Indiana regiments, the Kentucky mounted cav
airy and about seven hundred Of the recently
enlisted regulars. Col. Morgan of the second
regiment of Ohio volunteers, who has COM
mand at CamargJ, is actively engaged in forth
flying the place.
The Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi in
fantry are 10 Victoria. There was no truth in
the report that a Mexican force was stationed
there.
Since we wrote the above we have conversed
with a military gentleman who came passen-
ger in the Alabama, and whose sources Of cor
rect information were the very best. He in
forms US that Gen, Wool, with his forces, was
en- route to Join Gen. Worth lin addition to the
reinforcemcnts mentioned above, and that he
was, when last heard from, within a few miles
Of Saltillo. Gen. Scott was on his way to the
headquarters of General Taylor, which would
be in Victoria.
Our reliable informant's information still fur
ther ~dissipates all apprehonsions Of Santa An
ma assuming an offensive position. He now
holds the key to Southern Mexico, he deems al
the forces he can possibly concentrate there
necessary to retain it, and will only surrender
it tOa greatly superior force. The strength Of
his w army at San Luis Polosi, by the way il
greatly exaggerated. 1t does positively not ex.
coed 10000 men all told, and those poorly pro
visioned, and having in their possession scan
ty supply Of arms and ammunition. He reck.
ons, however, among his officers, men of high
military scientific a%ttainments, English, Ger
man and French. The place, he will of course,
have fortifedin the best possible manner. He
therefore, coolIy wraps himself up in the cloak
ofsecurity, at least for the present, we'll know
ing that we have no force now west Of the Rio
Grande from which he fears an attack,-N O

A New MovEMENr.-The Captain Of a Ger.
tain Volunteer comrany, now rendezvosed
at this place, must be one Of the veriest ways
in the world, judging from a proceeding Of his
which might have been witnessed on last Sun
day morning. He formed his men into a line
and gave order to the following effect
"Those who are going to church, about tace!p,
The majority Of the company about. faced
Immediately, thus evidencing their desire Of
attending the place of worship. A goodly
number, however maintained their FIRST posi-
ton; wondering, perha 8, at the stupidity Of
their comrades, in choosing to frequent so
dull a place in their estimation as the house
OF prayer. They had not become so religious
all at once-hey had'nt-by no manner of
means! But there was matter Of triumph
just ahead, for the moral and religious por-
ton Of the company, The Captains eye twin
killed. roguishly as he sung out
"ThOSe who are going to Church, palk up and
/ axe a drink.n'
They did so: and q more ashy looking set Of
fellows than were those in the minority never
had the pleasure Of seeing the thumb of the
right hand applied to the nose and the foul
digitals spread fan-like at their expense
Some of them begged the privilege Of chan
ging their votes; but the Captain was infexi-
ble-they couldn't cOax a treat out of him by
any means. Those who had voted for gang
to Church, washed down the cobwebs and
started; while the remainder looked as il they
were almost persuaded to be Christians.-Hcks

Had old "Rough and Ready" proved the
yariest bastard in the nation, he could not have
been rebuked more pointedly by the Executive
than he has been. No a%llusion whatever is
made to him or the character Of his services, 10
the message Of the President. THIS miserable
effort to disparage Gen. Taylor BY a cOntemp-
tuous neglect, is an insult to the honor Of the
country -FrankOrt Commonwealth.
It would have been a greater insult to Gen.
Taylor's good sense and honest political princi-
pies TO see his military conduct despatched
with praise by 50 unworthy a hand as the Pres
dents, and in such d document as vas the last
annual message. On hooking over it, we can
not sec, for the life Of us, where a subject so
an-locofoco,sh in its nature as the need ~ofpraise
earned At the peril Of life BY tho old General,
could have been appropriately introduced.-Y.

The object Of the United States has refer
ence to ultimate peace with Mexico; and if,
at that peace, the ui pOssidetis shall be estab-
lished, the government expects, through your
forces, to be found in actual possession of Up
per California.
. This will bring with it the necessity of a ci-
vii administration. Such government should
be established under your protection; and in
selecting persons to hold Office, due respect
should be had to the wishes Of the people OF
California as well as to the actual possessors Of
authority in that province. 1t may be proper
to require an oath Of allegiance to the United
States from those who are entrusted with au.

C~LovERNooK, January II, l847.
MT. Editor: As a constant reader Of your
valuable journal, | take great delight in perus-
ing the original poetry which adorns it's pages.
The similarity of language with which origi-
nal thinkers give expression to their ideas, has
been to me a source Of pleasing and curious
research, and in the course Of my reading
have found that the greatest, and most original
writer's are not free from what would appear
to be Plagiarism; one Of the most remarkable
instances Of similarity Of expression that
have ever known, is to be found in your paper
Of the 9th inst, in lines "To my Segar,' by
Mr.. Bod6-they are nearly identical with lines
"To my Cigar,'' by Charles sprague published
by Rufus W. Griswold, in his ''Poets and Poo
try Of America" page l0l; for the g%rati6ca-
ton Of your numerous readers, | send you the
lines by Mr. sprague, and with tco such clever
advocates for the Cigar, it is to be hoped you
will no longer deny yourself the pleasure of
inhaling the fumes Of the "weed."~

'None of his predecessors (POlk's) except
MIR. Jefferson and General Jackson, have pos
sessed the great practical faculty of common
sense in the pre-eminent degree in which it is
possessed by Col. Polk. Washington, Madi.

good men; but in the unerring application Of
the rules of common sense, they were, with
all their great qualifications, far less distin'

SUE REAsURY.--We ave heard q good ex-
smpliication of the Sub-Treasury laws cheap
ness, We give it as we have heard it from
credible sources:-Our U. S. Marshal received
recently two thousand dollars or thereabout
in Treasury warrants (ragsO to pay the ex-
penses OF the late sessions Of the U. S. court.
He could'ntus use them and he couldn't exchange
them for specie; for our U. s. land officers
here stood in fear of the felonious clause
against making an exchange Of funds received
by them.
The Marshal was obliged to write to the
Treasury Department for instruction and in
due time, he received directions to deposit
his rags at Chicago, and obtain specie from
the deputy sub-Treasury or a land officer
there.
The Marshal obeyed, and this legaloperation
ofconverting the two thousand Treasury arags''
into specie cost "Uncle Sam" something like
the following, as we guess:
United States to u. S. Marshal, DR..
To IS days on U. s, duty to Chicago,
through mud and mire, in pursuit of
change for $4,000 "rags'' per order U.
s. Treasury at S. per diem, $500
To expenses same time, to and from and
at Chicago 5000
To transportation Of specie 1000
Sl35,OC
This is only a cost of l9per cent on a collec-
ton Of $4,000 for the United States. What will
II cost TO collect the whole present federal ex-
penditure Of one hundred millions yearly?
