GEN LA VE0a AND MIpsHIrMAS Rop6- ERs.-Our readers are aware, that Mis!sIiip- man Rodgers was captured by the Mexi- cans, whilst on reeoasoiireii,g party on shore at night, and that they have threatened to execute him as spy. Mir. Rodgers, ai the time of his capture, was in ,indress uni form, and this fact, of itself, exoneraies him fully from coming within the category of a spy, even if other circumstances initiated against him, but, we believe the only ground for ihe charge is, tha, he landed on the enc my's territory, during the night, which he had an undonbied right 10 do, us an enemy, either to obtain information, or to make an attack, and the only penalty he legally could incar, was death or wounds in a conflict, or becoming sn ordinary prisoner of war, ln case of capture. The attempt, therefore, to make him out spy, is perfectly ridicalous, and we are glad 10 learn, that Gen. La Vega will be held as \ hostage for his safety, and will be executed, under orders from lhe go- yernment, ia case violence should be done to Mir. Rodgers Unsler these circumstances. we think il very probable Gen. La Vega will become anxious, and will really make some exertions to obtain the release of Mr Ro,lg- CTS. " Q Bull.

PRocEEeiNGS OF THE SrArE TEMPER- isasCE CoSYENTIoS.-Ther resolutions atlop- ted by this Convention show, that, although disappointed ln their application to the last legislature for direct vote of the people on the license law, the Temperance Societies of Mary land are not ,Iisheartened, bul will urge their point with renewed vigor 1T we tightly comprehend their object, Il is nothing more than that the people shall be authorized to say by their votes, whether licenses to retail intoxicating drinks shall or shall not be gran ted iu the election district or ward where tue yotes are given. Holding as we do. the re- publican doctrine that the majority shall rule. we shoald uahesi,alngly authorize the vote 10 be taken as required. No one will deny that niemperance Is preludiciai to reli- gion and morals, aud fruitful of crime; nor do we believe tila, Ii can be safely denied. that the present license system costs tax pay CTS much more for the support of criminals and paupers, made such by intemperance. than the revenue received from that source by the State. Every thing which is calcula- ted to promote an improvement in the moral condition of society. Is oi public interest; xvsIi the least that the representatives of tlIsspeo- pie eai Ae,, IS. to permit public exffesslom oi sentiment upon question defsaed by a large and respectable portion of the con muniiy to be essential to the well-being ol the present and rising generations. The Temperance Societies appear to be resolved to persevere until tseif request slsfi be gran- ted, aud have deserlniued either 10 run dis liact candidates pledged to the measure they wish. ar to vote for none of inc candidates of either party. who will no, unequivocaI.y consent thai the voice of the people shall be heard. Were we the most inveieFaie opao- .nents Of the temperance cause, we should have no hesitation abonl submitting the qtes- Ilou oi granting licenses to the decision of the ballot box, This prisilege has been extended to the voters of other States, and nc evil has resulted irom the proceeding; and we eauno; see why the legislature of Maryland should decline to follow ihe example IT the oa,l re- publican doctrine of '.vox populi vox dei'' be correct. DO evil can resuk from permitting that voice to be heard in accordance with ,hc wishes of the Temperance Societies. That the eyll of inlemperance can be erasliea,ed lsDo, to be expected--but if it can be diminished II will eilec, great moral reformation, which will send happiness and plenty io many fire sides where misery and poverty had formerly dweli To this end the efforts of all good men should be directed. f
