from Vera Cruz up to the LIST inst, bro't
by the steamer New Orleans. This boa:
brings intelligence of q somewhat inter-
esting character.
We learn that Gen. Lane ntered Pue :
bIa on the 18th ult., with 5000 men,
Capt. Walker, in command of three CON-
panies, encountered Santa Anna at the
head Of 5000 Mexicans, nine miles south
Of Pueba. During the engagement, and
while leading charge against the enc
my, the valiant Captain lost his life
This is severe loss to the country. No
man had earned better reputation as a
brave and discrete officer. than had Capt.
Walker. Gen. Patterson's command was
preparing TO leave Vera Cruz when the
New Orleans left. Gen. Quitman is a.
bout to return 10 the United States, and
Gen. Smith has been appointed Military
and Civil Governor Of the City Of Next
co. 1t is stated. that Gen. Shields, Capts.
Kearncy and Davis, and Lieut.. Kiger,
and other officers, will accompany Gen.
G. to the States. The Americans are in
possession Of Orizaba The new Exc
cutive is unable, thus far, to get a quo
rum of the members Of Congress at Que
re,aro; but it is confidently asserted, that
majority of those already assembled,
are in favor Of peace. This opinion may
be honestly entertained by them, or it
may be mere stratage.n, by which to
check an active and energetic prosecu-
ton Of the war by our government. Ev-
cry application for peace, which has the
slightest appearance Of ,reachery, should
be spurned with contempt. Let the war
be prosecuted with renewed and redoub-
led energy; the entire country brought
under military subsection, and the people
made to pay such taxes as to give them a
realizing sense Of justice, and the many
blessings which peace would bring with it.

thinks that the people Of the country,
without regard to party, should sustain
the administration in carrying on this
war;-ths is the view that every just and
sensible man should take Of this question
Wcbster Us. Wcbsler.--Can it be posi-
bic that Mr.. Webster, who figured at the
late Springfield Convention, is the same
Mr.. Webster who spoke at Philadel phia
last year, setting forth the duty of the
subject, when his country is engaged in
war? If they are both the same, we
would like to be informed Of what has
transpired to change his views. In his
late Springfield speech he said
"Suppose that we have no peacc--the
armistce broken-,he war in renewed pro-
grassland Congress assemblies. What
is to be done? Unless the President shall
make out case--show Congress that nc
purpose Of acquisition--no purpose not
directly connected with The welfare OF
this Union, is the object and end Of this
war. ne ought to go against any more sup.
plies TO carryit on.''
In Philadelphia, on the End December
last, since which the aspect Of our con.
troversy, with Mexico, has changed in nc
single particular, he express ed himself in
the following languages:
"Nevertheless, gentlemen, the war is
upon us-our armies are in the field and
our navies are on the sea. Our duty as
good citizens is plain. We must maintain
the Government, and aid 1t in an honorable
manner to bring The 1oa~ to q speedy termi
nalion. The people demand that every
effort should be made to effect this end
But while war lasts, while our soldiers
arc on the land and our sailors on the sea
to uphold the flag Of our country, crer1
means must be adopted to succor and sup
port them. They bear the commission Of
government-their duty is obedience to
the command Of their superors-lhey
are engaged IN foreign service--they
have done honor to their country"
We admit that this was very patriotic
for Mr.. Webster; but still it goes to show
what Mr. Webster was in Philadelphia
and what he is in Massachusetts.

Mr.. Peabody was one of a family, in New Eng

ted in them, than in any others, and as
far as our means and the grades of the
schools allow, no better can be had any
where.
But still much more can be DONE
The town wants a High School school
to teach the highest branches Of English
study, the languages; ancient and mod
ern. A school, to complete what is but
commenced in our schools OF the highest
grade; such school would complete
our present system. It's benefit would be
felt by the youngest child, as soon as he
enters the primary school it will con-
tinue during the period Of his education.
and remain with him during his life.
Such school would be more econom-
ical to very large number of our citi-
zens, who now send their children abroad
for education, or to those who send them
to schools in this town, where the highest
branches are taught; your Committee
have ascertained that nearly $4,000 is
expended for tuition in private schools,
nearly seven hundred of which is expend-
ed out of this town. Is there any reason
why this should be =!
Your Committee do not at this time,
urge any appropriation for high school /;
they only state the wants Of the Town,
and leave the consideration Of the same ),
to such time as shall seem to the Town
most proper for establishing such school.
Your Committee are much gratifed to
find that they have been thus far sustain
ed by the Town in all their acts; that
the Public are taking an increased inter-
est in the Public Schools, and that the
schools are gaining in character and ef-
fciency.
Your Committee have necessarily been
obliged to increase their expenditures by
giving an increased compensation to more
competent teachers, and by expenses III
Cured in fitting the primary schools.
The compensation paid to the teachers
is now not less than their services require );
to have good schools, we must have good
teachers, and well fitted and convenient
school rooms and your committee have
taken the responsibility, or rather circum-
stances have compelled them to increase
some of the salaries, and theyr espcctful-
Iy ask of the Town an increase of appro-
priation of the sum of five hundred dol
lars to meet that increase Of expenditure,
and to continue the present system, such
as has been for the last year.
Your Committee herewith present their
account

WHY is Railways Chinese Medcated Soap
preierrcd to all other soaps, either for Toilet or
Medical purposes.
Because, ii is truly medicated preparation.
Its medical properties are selected from the
most rare and choice extracts IN the whole
materia medica. Its action on the SKIN and Sc
cIetory vessels is entirely different from all other
soaps II opens the pores Of the skin. cleanses
from those natural avenues all impediments
which prevents the free escape of the impurities
of the iluids. Thus keeping the cuticle in a
healthy condition. and preventing the skin from
becoming parched, dry or dlsfgured with
Pimples Botches Pustules, Ring Worm, Fry
sipeias. Salt Rheum, nc.
Il For The Toilet IL is superior 10 all imported
soap, being entirely free from all poisonous ad.
mixtures, such as caustic, " muTiaic acids,
bismulh which tends to irriae the skin-and
instead of eradicating the diseases from the sys-
TEN, drives them (the diseases) in the skn.-
When after short period they appear again
upon the surface in a much worse condition
than before. What advantage il is then 10 seu
the genuine Radieay's Chinese Medieated Soap
in preference TO all others. IL is cheaper, better
and gives better satisfaction than any other ar
ticle of the kind in the market. IL never fails
| in removing all excrescences. Pimples, Blotches
