The Court Martial.


We continue our report of the proceedings
of the Court Martial in the case of Lieut.. Col.
Fremont, now sitting at the United States Ar
senal, in this city; which, as they become
more and more interesting in its progress, we
shall not fail to report fully, for the informa-
ton of the public, and more especially for that
of the readers of the National Intelligencer.
Enough is already disclosed to show that
this trial is to take vastly wider range than
merely the Military deserts of Col. Fremont.
The motives, objects, and conduct of the Mex
lean War itself, can hardly fail to come under
review of the public at least, though not of
the Court Martial, which will doubtless limit
its own investigation to its proper sphere of ac-
ton.
How can the Public, indeed, shut its eyes
to the official indications of the purpose of the
Administration, in the earliest stages of this
War, to make itself master of the Territories
of Mexico. with a view to permanent occupa-
ton of Them made apparent by the follow
ing passages, read in the course of yesterday,
from Documents which have never been seen
by one in ten thousand, even of the reading
citizens of the United Statess
Ertracts. from Letter from Secretary Baucrott
to Commodore Sloat, dated July IL, 1S47.

its rights as belligerent nation, to possess it.

secured, you will, if possible, send small
vessel of war to take and hold possession of
the port of San Diego: and it would be well
to ascertain the views of the people of Puebla
de los Angeles, who, according to information
received here, may be counted upon as DESTROYS
of coming under the jurisdiction of the Unit
ed States. If you can take possession of it,
you should do SO.
"The object of the United States has refer
ence to ultimate peace with Mexico; and if at
that peace the basis of the UTI PossIDETIs shall

Upper California.
"This will bring with it the necessity of a
cipa administration. Such Government
should be established under your protection )
and, in selecting persons to hold office, due re-
spect should be had to the wishes of the peo-
pie of California, as we'll as to the actual pos
SCISSORS 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 authority. You will also assure the peo-
pie of California of the protection of the
United States. '-National Intel.

Man Missing.

A young man, named Albert Avery, lS
years of age, belonging to Bath, attached to
ship Danvers, lying at Long wharf, went on
board on Friday night, went below and un-
dressed, probably to go to bed. In the morn
ing his clothes remained in the forecastle, but
the man was gone. 1t is feared that he got
up in his sleep and fell overboard.- Boston

The Cincinnati Chronicle of Saturday says
=" Yesterday, Commissioner and Secretary,
(whose names we do not recollect) from the
Mexican state of Yucatan, passed through

The Commissioner states that the people of
Yucatan are neutral in the present war, and
their object, we believe is to make CONNER
cial treaty with the United States. The COM
missioner proceeds to Pittsburg."

Gen. Cushing.

A letter from Gen. Caleb Cushing dated
Vera Cruz, Oct. 18th, has been received, in
which he cordially accepts the nomination to
the chief magstracy Of the Commonwealth,
which the Democracy" of Massachusetts
have so generously profered him. He says:
81 have thrown my life into the scale of my
conntry's cause against my countrys enemies
here in Mexico; and will not hesitate to risk
nv honor on the stake of what l conceive to
be my country's cause in Massachusetts"
Query-If Caleb Gushing risked his honor
in consentirg to be candidate for Governor,
did be save it or did he lose it, One or the
other he must have done. If he has saved it,
then if he had been elected he would have
lost it, and if he would have saved it by being
elected. then he has lost it now, and so he is a
man without his honor. We suppose, how
ever that Caleb meant it was risking man 8
honor to become Loco candidate. We think
so. too, though we cam see as Caleb had much
to risk any way.

In the floating cloud it flies;
Then to earth il comes amain,
Pattering in the falling rain.

Trace it in the gurgling rill-
Know it in the diamond blaze
View II in the moont haze
Hear it in Niagara's roar,
Or on oceans governed shore
Mark it in the sleety storm,

Note it dashng from the mountain
Quaff it at its pebbly fountain
In the snow flake it appears,
And in beau,y's crystal tears.

Goldfish .Aristocracy.

having passed his early days in those avoca-
tons which the foolish consider degrading, he
has fought his way up, by diligence and per-
severance, to distinction and influence. Yet
it must be confessed that it is sometimes the
case that we find men of this class who, in
stead of considering the circumstances an
honor to them, rather consider it disgrace
that they were born poor, and ever had TO Ia
Dor for living, and consider themselves in
suited when allusion is made to their former
occupation-m who are full as aristocratic
in their notions, and as much disposed to keep
UP the artificial distinctions which exist in So
ciety, as those who have always been brought
up to believe that mere wealth can confer
honor, and that it is degrading for any one to
be engaged in manual labor, and that it is
lowering ones self to associate on terms OF
equality with such as are engaged in it. Now
we can see some faint shadow of an excuse for
those who have been born with a silver spoon
in their mouths, if they do thus allow silly
preiudces to govern them but we can see
with the evils of poverty, who has known how
hard it is to contend with the difficulties of
the poor mans situation, and yet has had the
opportunity of knowing that as true hearts
beat under the homely garb of the laborer as
under the rich dress of his lordly neighbor.
For the man who thus has been placed under
such circumstances, to despise labor and be
ashamed to own he has been a laborer, We say
there is no excuse; he deserves the contempt
of both rich and poor. But we are glad to see
that the number of such men is fast diminish
ing-they form exceptions to general rule
already. Self made men are beginning to con-
sider as Patrick Henry did, that their lowly
origin is an honor to them. AS labor is de-
manding and obtaining the respect due to it,
men become less anxious to conceal the fact
that they have once been engaged in tive
mean those of the class we have alluded to
while the number of those who have ennobled
their avocation by cultivating their intellects,
and who from their hearts believe in the re-
spectablity of labor, is daily increasing.

The New Steamboat.

We learn that the committee appointed by
the directors of the new steamboat company,
to contract for new boat, have completed the
same at New York, The boat is to be two
hundred and twenty feet long and thirty-tw
feet beam. Her engine is to have cylinder
of fifty four inches in diameter and a stroke of
eleven feet. She is to be of firm structure and
high finish and equal in speed and appoint
ments to any boat upon Long Island Sound.
1t has been determined that she shall run to
Portland and there connect with the Railroad.
1t is probably from what we can learn that
there will be daily communication, by steam
boat, next season, bet veen this city and Bos-
ton by the way of Portland and the railroad.
