From The PtftsbRrg Gazette
TIME past summer (1s47l has been a very remarka-
4 bic one. Frequent and heavy rain followed by
intense and long continued heat had the effect, IN the
first place, to promote a rapid growth OF succuent
vegetation and in the second to produce RAPID de-
composition of vegetable matter giving rise 70 much
miasma and spreading sickness, disease and deaths
in places which had heretofore been remarkable tor
their salubrity.
We are credibly informed, that whole meadows,
on which the grass was unusually heavy, rotted to
the ground and not fit TO be cut In Indiana ana
Illinois, the sickness general, that there was
not enough well persons to attend upon the SICK
whose sutf rings were protracted by want OF prop
er remedies as well as of good nursing. Much OF this
suffering might have been prevented, mad every fam
lily kept hand supply OF medicines suited TO coun-
teract the effects OF this masna, with which the at
mosphere at certain times is surcharged. In addi-
ton to Qunine (which is in such general to
need no comment) we would strongly urge every
family to keep on hand one or more boxes OF "DR.

INTERESTING INCIDENT OF THE WAR.-Happening to
be in the company of gallant officer of our army
few days ago. expressed our regret that his rusty
blade had participated in the glorious deeds per-
formed by his Regiment in the battles of the Valley
of Mexico He replied that literally had ground
forregret as his sword was really in the battles and
had performed signal service for our army. He had
loaned it TO the gallant Capt, Woods, of the 18th In
fantry. On the night ofthe 18th August-that dark,
gloomy and memorable night which preceded the
brilliant victory of Conreras the Brigade to which
Capt. Woods was attached, in the execution Of Gen.
Smiths plan OF operation advanced under cover
of night into ravine lying just under the of
the Mexican fort When the troops bivouacked in
darkness and silence in this dangerous proximity to
the guns of the enemy, Mexican to enter
the camp with bundle in his hand. On being ac-
costed, he pretended to be deserter but suspicion
being aroused he was searched, and his bundle was
found to contain the uniform Of Mexican officer
When he perceived that he was detected, he sprang
away fromihis guard and, leaping down PERCEPTIONS
height, plunged into the stream which inter
cepted his return to the Mexican camp. Capt. Woods,
who, with true military sagaciy OWNED the Mexi-
cans purpose, rushed after him. to the great peril and
serious injury of his limbs, and, overaking the Next
can in the middle ofthe stream, ran him through with
the sword of our informant. BY this prompt and
perilous act, Capt. Woods saved the whole brigade
from the almost certain destruction which know
ledge Of their position would have enabled the Mcx-
cans to hurl upon our troops The Mexican had been
sent as spy ascertain the position of camp,
that their batteries might be opened upon our men

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN MExIco.-The London
press in its structures on the with Mexico, is
right in one respectthat the mode in which tits pros
ecuted, is anomalous tits so, anil we may Id very
different from the mode pursued by the English in all
their wars.
After evey defeat the Mexicans sustain, we admin
lister to them dose of civilization After our troops
cutthem up with rifle balls and bayonets, they step
out of the ranks take up the stick and pursue the
retreating legons with the great cvizer of mankind
the Press. After discharge of shots and shells,
they receive discharge of newspapers; and while
disabled by their wounds they lesurey read the
of the day. prepared for them by their conquerors-
Such is characteristic of the war with Mexico,
which, in this respect at least, is anomalous.
There are in the United States from ten to fifteen
thousand persons connected with the press, comprs
ina EDITORS reporters printers pressmen, and devils,
As class, they unquestionabe the best educated,
most talented most energetic, the most original the
most patriotic part of our population. OF this mum

invading army, and assisted materially in achieving
the splendid victories that have asonlshed ourselves
and the world. From the moment they entered Mex

ted as they went along At every hating place and
every town they captured they started a newspaper
and at the present moment there are nearly dozen
Anglo American newspapers printed and circulated
in the enemy's country. These Journals, though
small in size, well got up, and display consdera
bic talent and ability They fail in working
great change in the minds of the people; and in the
event ofits becoming necessary to permanently
by the whole of Mexico, will exercise an important
influence in the preservation of order and quiet.
The press is altogether a new element in the prose

appointed by the Speaker, agreeably to the re-
solution on the subject adopted on Thursday.
The list is very long and we cannot find room

ment says:
There was a marked interest manifested in
the appointment of Committee this morning in
the House. You have them in another form.
believe they give general satisfaction, though,
there are of course some few personal disap-
pointments. naHh
Mr.. Vintons selection as Chairman Of the
Committee of Ways and Means is peculiarly
appropriate. Mr.. v. is one of the Oldest mem
bers OF the House, one ofthe most national, one
of the most liberal, and one of the most expe-
Tlenced. Andrew Stewart is very happily
placed at the head, of the Committee on Manu-
features; an interest which be has defended with
marked interest and ability, MIR. J. r. Inger-
soil, at the head of the Judiciary Committee
will confer honor upon the place. II is one
of the most important Committees of the body,
and every day growing more and more impor-
tant from the amount of legal business accu-
mulating in the country.
Truman Smith, at the head Of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, is an excellent appointment
He is an old member, and one of the most ster-
ling of the House. Mr.. Schenck, of Ohio, al
the head of the Committee on Roads and Ca
nails; Mr.. Thompson, of Indiana, over the Com
mittee on Contested Elections Mr.. Caleb B
Smith, Chairman Of the Territorial Committee
and Mr.. Bolts, at the head of Military Com
nittee. are all excellent appointments.
So also is that of Mr.. King, ,of Georgia, a
the head of the Naval Committee, in which as
subordinate officer, he has done good service
Mr., Hunt, of New York, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Commerce, has been for several
years member of the House, and is ably sus
tanned by bis fellow members.
Upon the whole, with so many new members
more than one half of the whole number, and
all these, except by reputation, strangers to Mr.
Winthrop. the Speaker. has done well and
afforded high degree Of satisfaction to those
who have placed him where he is.

Mr.. Dickinson offered the following resolu-
tons which were ordered to be printed:
ReSolocd, That, in organizing territorial
government foi territories belonging to the
United States, the principles of self-govern-
ment upon which our federative system rests
will be best promoted, the true spirit and mean
ing Of the constitution be observed, and the
confederacy strengthened, by leaving all ques-
tons concerning the domestic policy therein
to the Legislature chosen by the people there
of.
RasoIpcd, That true policy requires the Gov
ernment of the United States to strengthen its
political and commercial relations upon this
continent, by the annexation of such contigu-
Gus territory as may conduce to that end, and
can be justly obtained; and that neither in such
acquisition nor in the territorial organization
thereof. can any conditions be ccnstitutionally
imposed, or institutions by provided for or es-
tabiished, inconsistent with the rights of the
people thereof to form sovereign State, with
the powers and privileges of the original mem.
