The Barque Carmellta, Of Bangor.

We publish an urticle in another column Of
to-days paper, stating that this vessel had been
seized by a Mexican privateer, and carried into
Barcelona. 1t would seem from the following
extract Of a letter received BY a merchant uf
Plymouth, England, that the authorities at B.
would not recognize her capture as legal. The
letter is published in the Plymouth (Eng) Her
aid - Cincinnati Chronicle.
"The circumstance created the grea est in
terest here; for, if such maranding is to be
allowed, no vessel would be safe. The au-
rhorilies took up the matter with spirit; and,
after due examination, condemned the priva.
teer as a pirate-and Of course, the American
vessel will be restored to her captain to pur.
sue his voyage. Ilearn there are three Others
in this neighborhood with similar commissions
The United States should sanction a man-of
war on the coast, TO protect their SHIPS. TIL,

The Baltimore Patriot, abiding to General
Tny or's Buena Vista letter, make s the follow
ing just reflections:
Give US the letter, or the public mind will
settle down into the conviction, that not only
has the A administration done Gen. Taylor great
wrong, but that it is satisfied itself that it has
no excuse to offer for the wrong done.
1t is whispered about that the publication of
The correspondence is to be delayed, in hope
that Gen. Tay lor, under the feelings of just in
dignation which the conduct of the Admins
tration towards him has excited may be betray-
ed into doing something, or writing something
which may be seized upon as an excuse for the
injustice done him. Mr.. Polk deceives him
self il he hopes this. Gen. Taylor is neither
to be surprised by the enemy in the field nor
in the cabinet. And then again, it is said that
the correspondence will be published on the
happening of some great event in Mexico, with
which Gen. Taylor is to have no connection
but what tn S great event is to be Mr.. Polk
himself is not seer enough to see-and that
then, under the excitement which this great
news is TO produce, Gen. Toylor's letter is to
pass off unnoticed or disregarded!
If this be Mr.. Folks hope, he still more de-
ceives himself. We can tell him that it is i'm
possible anything could occur which would
make the people of this country Indifferent to
anything which concerns Gen. Taylor, and
that his letter Of February last, written before
the battle Of Buenu Vista, no matter how pub
lished, or when published, will create a sensa
ton which nothing can destroy.
That letter is sure to be brought to the pub
lie eye, and we are no enemy of Mr.. Poll
when we tell him that, however he must suffe
by the efectit will produce on the public mind
the sooner it is published the better for him.

tbs ORGANIZER on Gen. TAYLOR General
Taylor in a very critical atudtion!!-The Ok
ford Organizer not content with 'using up"
Gen. Bradford, 'pilches into" General Taylor,
thus:
Sand it is equally true that Gen Taylor (the
whig candidate for President,O did give the
Mexicans whole lots Of "devils" in the person
of Ampudia and his whole army, who were
permitted to go out of Monterey with flying
colors."
This is nOtthe first direct attack upon Gen.
T. which we nave noticed in the column OF
the Organizer, Stimulated, doubtless by the
presence Of that great urch-enemy of General
Taylor, the Hon. Jacob Thompson, (who re.
sides at oxiord,) that paper continues, week
after week to ussuil the old hero with a daring
intrepidity, which the Generals Mer,ran foes
have never displayed and by which il they

The National Intelligehcer says that the edi-
tor OF the German Locofoco p per published
in Washington city, when recently asked why
he abused Gen. Taylor, gave as the reason that
he was paid by the Administration to do so.-
The paper referred to has only 10 subscribers
and is crowded with Government advertise
ments. In this way the editor is paid for his
abuse, and the Administration, in thus paying
him shows that its notions Of honesty and de-
eency are on a level with those Of the chap
they employ to do their dirty work.-LOu. Jour.

no omment TO make upon General Scttt for
addressing Gen. Taylor at San Luis Potosi,
nor will we pretend to determine the differ

On this same subject will be found a COM

super1uous the foregoing remarks. and would

From Capt. Lnuman, Of the Pennsylvania
volunteers, who haskindiy Communicated to
US various information, we learn that the work
Of terrifying Rio FriO was going on rapidly,
The English courier, who arrived at Vera
Cruz the night before the New Orleans left,
said positively there were 10000 Mexicans en-
gagged in the work. Other accounts reduce the
number to 10000, but on this subject the ex-
PLANTATION, we take it, is that any number Of
men can be raised to defend the city-that
there is scarcely a limit to the hosts that can
be concentrated, if means Of feeding them can
he procured. But that these hordes are well
armed and equipped, or possess any discipline
we have no faith. Their very numbers will
prove an remembrance when the day Of trial
comes.

The patriotism OF the illustrious friend Of

FAYETTE, VIII inherits the name Of one and
the virtue Of both his namesake has long held
and still holds a seat araoaE the Liberal mems
bers Of the French Chamber Of Deputies, and
at the last election his eldest son OSCAR, hsy.
ing scarcely became eligible by arriving at
the age Of 30, was elected a Deputy to the
same Chamber by the District Of MeG~r, the
same that his grandfather, the General former
" represented. The contest was an active
one, hisantagonist and predecessor being a min
~isterial candidate sustained by powerful in
terests-but generation for the memory of the
grandfather, the gratitude Of his old constitu-
ents, the opinion Of the people, and we may
presume the merit Of the candidate, have pre-
vailed over all obstacles, and now the son sits
by the side Of his father on the same opposi-
ton bench, where he sat so long by the side
of his father, the old Gen, raj.

GEN. TAYLoR's FARM.-We rejoice to learn

Taylot's farm, BY an OVERLOOKING Of the Mis-
sissippi, not correct. The old Father Of
R~,Ve4siast looked over the smbanknent, and
finding himself near the possessions OF an alb
sent hero, scattered some refreshing drops up
on the parched soil, and then, gracefully reced-
inc. departed on his majestic journey to the

Mr.. POLK AND TnE 0ReANIsT.-The position
Of the official organist, or pipe, or whatever ne

He took his pipes, began to play,

GEN. TwIGes.-This old General is a trump
card. His appearance is very much that one
would take Gen. Taylor's to be, from the des-
criptions we get of old Rough and Ready and
it would be very easy to mistake one for the
other. Gen. Twiggs is a large fat man, grey
headed, and wears white whiskers
and mustache. He is rough, plain, and prompt,
doing every thing quickly, but nothing without
sound reflection. AS a General, he is consid-
cred one Of the best in the army, and in fight
ing, shows all the grit and hang-on-ishnes'

The Editor of the New York Herald, who
has heretofore shown himself favorable tn The
Administration, in writing from Paris, says,
speaking Of Gen. Taylor:
"The accounts by the last steamer has left

LATER FROM GEN TAyIoR-We learn from
Capt Wilson, of the LIST Regiment Indiana
Volunteers, who came passenger in the shoon-
er Wando, from the Brazos, that he cam from
Gen. Tnylor's camp, which he left on the
Oath May, where he left all the army in good
health.

MISSISSIPPI INSTITUTION FOR THE EDUCATION
OF THE BLIND-This Institution commenced
its session the first of April last, and though
the school HIS labored under great embarross-
ment in consequence of not having suitable
books and other apparatus necessary TO the
successful instruction of the blind, the pupils
are still improving rapidly, and giving every
evidence OF their entire capacity FIR receiving
instruction. The following branches are taught
in the institution to-wit: Spelling, reading,
the raised print, Writing, Arithmetic, Gram
mer, Geugraphy-and vocal music. In each
Of these branches they receive a lesson every
day, of one hours length, except reading, in
which they receive three lessons per day
The object Of the present School is TO form a
nucleus for a State Institution, in order that
the blind generally, throughout the State, may
%receiva the benefits Of an education.
AS there is a very large majority of the
blind in INDECENT circumstances they are ncces-
sorily educated either by private or public
muai6cence, and in the establishment of the
present school, we are happy to state that
donations have been thus far liberal, and il is
believed that the school will go on successfully
until the legislature shall take the matter under
consideration.
The Principal has been for some time pre-
senting this object to the public, and intends
during this year to visit all the counties in th'
State, in order that the subject may be gene
rally understood by the citizens, aud that thu
sense Of the public in regard to the %propriety
Of establishing a State Institution may b'
had. The establishment Of the institution n
:, Sharon. in Madison county, is by no mean
f, regarded as permanent, as this matter will b.
considered by the Legislature when they shal
take into consideration the expediency Of Ell
downing the institution. The following gen
tlemen act us a bond of a%dvisement tor tn
