SERGENNr RYLEY.-The N. Y Commercial
has the following notice of Sergeant Ryley, re-
Gently hung in Mexico, with his seventy-two
companions:
Sergeant Ryley, the dese,ter, was wellkno
by many in this community. He was recruit
ing sergeant for some time, and kept the rem
devious next to the corner of Cedar, in Wash
lngton street. RyIey eaaa of vsry large
frame, more than six feet high. He was so--
merly sergeant in the Goth regiment of the
British army, stationed in Canada, from which
he deserted, and came to this city. Shortly af-
ter he joined the United States army; and being
well skilled in his profession, was sent to West
Point, where he acted as drill sergeant for some
time.

GEN. ScoTT.-This tribute to Gen. Scott, as
just as it is eloquent, we take from the Phila-
delphia North American:
No higher evidence could be given of the
lofty merits and great military ability ofa COM
mander, than the hope, almost amounting TO
confidence, with which all classes now look
to Gen. Scott TO extricate our little army from
the awful endorsements in which the Ad-
ministration has plunged it. His genius has
ever risen with the crisis; and we doubt not,
whatever the result, that he will be found great
er in the hour of adversity than when our eagles
scared on, almost without delay or hindrance,
from victory to victory. This is the test of
great soldier, one which the greatest captains
have not always been able TO encounter with
out loss of reputation.
We rely, with all confidence, upon the abili-
ties of our officers and the valor of our soldiers;
what man, in the most towering exaltation of
his energies, can do, they will do; yet aban-
doned as they have been by the Administration
cut off from communication and aid, and pent
up amid an overwhelming superiority of an
CRY numbers. thrill of fear will mingle with
our confidence. How does the heart of the ma
tion go forth towards the strugglers; and with
what Joy will be hailed the tidings that shall
tell us-they are SaUed!

WHEAT.-Our farmers are taking advantage the
present prices to bring in their wheat Upwards Of
eighty wagons were in yesterday unloading, and we
learn that house alone, Messrs Allis & Howes,
paid out in cash for wheat upwards of 81 OC0, be-
tween noon and dark. Business is improving, and
we have doubt the receipts OF produce for the
month will be very large.
The receipts of Wheat at Chicago for the week
ending the ID inst. 900 bushels. Prices paid
average about 81 cents for Spring, and 70 for
Winter wheat The receipts of wheat at Racine from
the lst Of August to the 25th of September reach go
600 bushels, according to the Wing. At Milwaukee,
for the same period, 10000 bushels.

0- BY direction of the War Department,
on Friday the lst day of October, the two twin
steam Snag Boats. the Samson and Sewer, with
portion of their tackle and machinery, were
sold at this place at public auction. They
brought in the aggregate, the sum of s., ,643.--
These boats were built at heavy expense to
the government in the year l843, and have
been lying idle at their moorings at this place
for several years, rendered useless by the ex-
press vetoes, and the pocket vetoes of Presi-
dents Tyler and Polk, Of river appropriation
bills AS these boats have been lying idle for
such a length of time, they have become quite
decayed and would soon become worthless Ell
ther for the purposes of the government or in
dividuals. If on the contrary they had been
used and kept in repair they would have lasted
for several years, and under the control and d.
rection of our friends Captain Tyson and Dill
lingham, would have saved an immense deal
of private and public property from destruc-
ton, as well as the lives of many citizens
But the conscience Of the Executive is such,
that he cannot subscribe to the construction
placed upon the Constitution by former demo-
cratic Administrations. The views of one
man must govern the whole. Not only have
these boats been deteriogating in value since
they have been lying up, but they have been
kept at considerable expense to the govern
ment. We heard gentleman say a few days
since, and one who has paid attention to the
subject. that from August, 1916, to August,
lS47, 81 steamboats, had either been totally
lost by snags, or very considerably damaged
with their cargoes, and many others of which
no notice had been taken. Two Of that number
had government stores which were totally lost,
and their value was nearly adequate to have
kept the snag boats in operation for one year,
and would have saved the lives Of many valu-
able citizens and an immense deal Of private
property.-Podacoh KentuekiGn.

FIsHTINs PARsoN.-One ofthe companies from Mis-.
sissipp at the battle Of Buena Vista, was command
ed by Methodist Preasher. Just before the battle
commenced, and whilst the troops were forming, it
Is said he delivered the following pithy prayer at the
head of his company:
"Be with us this day in the conflict oh Lord! We
are few, and the enemy many. Be with us as
thou vast with Joshua, when he went down from
Gilgal 70 Bethhoron and Aiaon, to smte the Amor
itel, We do not ask thee for the sun and moon 10
stand still, but grant us plenty of powder plenty of
daylight, and no towards. Take old Trough and
Ready" under Thy special charge. Amen! MA-R-c-H!''
His company performed prodigies on the field tha,
