njSThe Locofocos are exulting over the I'M
expected income under the new Tariff. They
say they revenue is much larger, than any one
believed is would be-" We presume Mr.. Secre

for the year, is over five millions below his esti-

The Administration has different names for
its various armies. One of them it calls It's ar

its "army of depredation."-L Louisville Journal
o. The Union publishes the startling rumors
about rebellion among the Mormon Regiment
in California, which appeared in the Washington
letter of the Journal OF Commerce, and says:
1T is certain that no accounts TO this effect
have been received by any Of the departments
nor have we heard OF any private letters which
confirm it. The last letter from Gen. Kearney
is to the 18th March, and it makes no mention OF
the Mormons at ALL"

The most pnpable truth told by the Courier
this season. Why should it die, when Locoio
chanan, the head of Folks Cabinet advisers is
a Locotoco Federast; George Bancroft, Folks
Secretary of the Navy, aud, by translation hence,
Folks Minister to England is another OF these
Locoioco Feder0lists. Roger D. fancy, Hppoin-
ted by Gen Jackson Chief Justice of the Su.
preme Court of the United States, is another Lo-

GENERAL TAYLoR.-The New York Tribune
thus defines its position in relation to Gen. Tay
Tor and the Presidency:--
awe explicitly stated, (it says,) months ago.
in reply to our Ohio correspondent, that he was
not our choice for that station. Every one who
knows any thing of our personal views on this
subject is aware that we frequently expressed
our decided preference for an eminent civilian
as the Wing candidate for President, long before
the appearance of General Taylor's Cincinnati
letter."
q ? The Louisville Journal says Gen. Taylor
is a Wing; and is in favor of what not banks
tariffs, SC, but " honesy" &c. Now the editor
might cut the matter short by just putting up the
ten commandments, and informing his readers
that Gen. Taylor is in favor of the whole of
them.-LouiSuiUe Democrat.
If Gen. Taylor were to pu: forth the ten COM
mandments as his political creed, all the Loco
Foco leaders would be sure to oppose him most
desperately. They cannot tolerate the 9Th com
mandment for it forbids stealing, and this would
preclude their leg-treasury. They cannot tole-
rate the 9th commandment, for it forbds the bear
ing of false witness, and this would put sudden
stop to all their newspapers. They cannot tole-
rate the tenth commandment, for it forbids them
to covet their neiohIDr's possessions; and this
would bring to a sudden halt their operations in

INTERMENT OF THE FALLEN KENTUCKIANs.-
We learn from several sources that the ceremo-
MES of the interment at Frankfort on Tuesday
were grand, solemn and imposing. The con
course oil people was estimated by many at Is to
10000. Mr. Disadvantages Grafton was able,
eloquent and appropriate. Mr.. Clay, with the
orphan children of his fallen SON Mrs. Mckee,
the lady of the gallant deceased Coonel-and
Mrs. Vaughn, wife of the intrepid Adiutant-
were among the chief mourners. And this is the
finale to the battle of Buena Vista Alas! what
TO these mourners, and to the hundreds of Others
less distinguished, who feel grief as deep as
theirs, is all the glory Which the most brilliant
Achievements of that conflict can possibly secure !?
May God grant them one and all, that consola-
ton which cometh only from above.-CnctnnaH

AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION, "WHAT
HARM THIS WAR HAS DONE TO US " Col. VIM.
Campbell's first regiment of Tennessee volun-
teers numbered one thousand brave men on their
march 10 Mexico. Only $50, rank an file, of
this gallant regiment returned with their Colo.
mel to their homes.
Col WIN. II. Haskel's I'd regiment of Ten
nessee volunteers numbered 040 on their march
to Mexico Only 360 of these gallant men, rank
and file, returned with Col Haskell to their
homes and friends--their wives and children
their fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and other
relatives and friends.
The rest of them-Hrteen hundred and THIRTY
sickness and bullets, disease and shot, and swords
have consigned to an early grave IN foreign
land, from their native homes, without collins anC
| winding sheets, or head stones to tell who they
are or tohere they are! Poor fellows! mournfu
and vacant are many loved houses and fresides
but the sleeping dead know it not. They repost
beneath the sands of an iahosptabe cliTe, pro
miscuously thrown together, and there they
must rest in quiet till the last loud trump CALI
the nations of the earth to stand before the Coo
! Of Armies !-JoneSJorO' Uhig.
WooL.-The clip this season throughout tn
country is much superior, both IN quality AM
cleanliness, to what it has been before, and it is
on these accounts alone, worth two or three cent
pound more than last years prices.
, This improvement Is probably owing, in
great measure, to the efforts made by the dealer
last year, and particularly those engaged in ex
l porting, to induce the farmers and country mer
D chants to use more care and system IN washing
) asserting and putting up.
The superior cleanliness is also attibuled
part 10 the cool ard moist weather of last Spring
: which it is said lessened the perspIration OF tn
y sheep. Last year there was much complain
c particularly by worsted manufacturers, abot
