From the Richmond Enquirer.

ANOTHER "CHILLING SHOWER BATH I'm
the last Charleston (Va) Spirit of Jefferson,
we find the following damper upon wing hopes,
1t needs no comment:
Il corYection-We have seen a paragraph
circulating among several of the wing papers
of the country. to the effect that Lieut.. Wash
ngton, of the Virginia regiment, who is now
on furlough at home for his health, has writ
ten letter to the Charleston Free Press, in
which he says that Gen. Taylor is whig-
opposed to the present tariff, and the sub-treas-
ury-and ready to run, of course, as a full
blooded whig candidate. We are authorized
to say that Lieut.. W--[himseIf a whig, we
learn. ENQUIRER. has never addressed such
letter to the "Free Press" or any cther
press, and denies that Gen. Taylor, from con-
uerSationS he has heard from him, euer dec!a-
red himself arhig, and opposed to the present
measures Of the democratic party. So far from
it, Gen'l Taylor expressly disclaims being a
party man, and expresses his unaterable de-
termination not to identify himself with either
party. If the people elect him. he is willing
to serve them but it must be of their free and
unsolicited pleasure, and not through any in
strumentality of his own. AS with this ru-
NOR, so we presume with the hundred others.
which declare Gen. Taylor to be a arhig, when
there is not one shadow of proof to sustain it
The party of erpedientS have already driven
themselves to the wall by their too eager haste
and utter recklessness and inconsistency

Sarsaparilla in my family and witnessed its bene-
fetal effects on one of my children feel it to be
duty owe the community to make the case pub
lie. About two years ago my little son was at
tackled with Scrofula or Kings Evil. which
broke out in eight or nine places round the neck
and jaw, and finally effected his eyes, rendering
him entirely blind. During the first year from the
time he was taken, he was attended by several
physicians, but continued to get worse until
despared of his ever getting well. Having seen
your Sarsapara advertised with certificates of its
cures, I concluded would give it trial, and ac-
cordingly sent to Cincinnati and procured few
bottles, and now, after having used nine bottles
have the qualification of saying he is well. The
sores are all entirely healed, and his sight nearly
as good ever it was and have no hesitation
in saying that he was entirely cured by the use
of your Sarsapari Ia.
Yours truly, E. BASSETT.

The MEXICAN NEws.-Up to this CThurs-
day. morning we have not received one word
of news from Gen'l Scott since our last weeks
paper was issued. The Southern Mail, due
this morning, has not arrived at the time OF
writing ihis paragraph. Should the Mail
reach here before we get our paper to press,
we shall notice such newsas may be received.
Our advices from Gen. Taylor's division are
down 10 the 18th inst, from the Rio Grade
and to the 29th ult from BHena Vista. There
IS not much interest in the news, bat such as
we have received will be found III our columns.
LATEST FROM MExICo.-The Southern Mail
was detained to-day, on account OF boisterous
weather at sea, until O'Clock, P. NJ. We
have received no New Orleans papers by this
mail. The Charleston Courier, however, OF
yesterday, contains New Orleans dates to the
22d inst, with news from our army under
Gen. Scott. The news may be considered ia
terestiRg, and we hasten to lay it before ouE
readers II will be seen that Gen. Scott is
still at Puebla, and that it was reported, ant
with apparent truth, that the Mexican Con
Eress had appointed Commissioners to trea
with Mr.. Trlst for peace. II was believed
that Santa Anna would pronounce in favor Of
peace as the peace party in Mexico was fast
gaming the ascendency. We have no time to
go into an analysis OF the news, as we must &c
TO press. The news will be found under the
appropriate heading.

Thy falsehood hath been to my spirit knell;
Thou hast broken the charm, thou hast riven the

And hath driven me from thee in sorrow and pain
No more does the heart that burned with loves

Now bound like the deer at the sound of thy name
But pensve and sad it awaits the sweet moment
When death shall release it from heart wringine

Farewell to thee, lady. thy smile was once bright
And sent thro' my soul thrill of delight
But now it has ceased its bright rays to emit,
And the fame is extinguished, nor can be re.lit.
Then farewell, forever, and whene'er name thee
Twill be with sign, but vet not to blame thee
Q, no, if tho tickle thou'st proven to me,
Thy mem'ry shall be as the guide star at sea.

Fond hopes which ne 'er could believe would have

But alas! thou hast been to each fond hope kneII-
