We had the pleasure Of conversation
with DR.. johnson, Of Gen. Wool's staff
who arrived in the Palmetto, evening be
fore last, direct from Gems. Wool and
Taylor's camp having left Saltllo on the

Dr. johnson reports that Gen, Wool
was encamped on the classic field Of Bue

sisling OF the Virginia, Mississippi, and
North Carolina Volunteers, and Slerman's

Gen. Taylor is still at his favorite old
camping ground, Walnut Springs, quietly
waiting until the government furnishes
him with men and means to advance on

10Th regiment, Bragg's battery, aud two
squadrons Of Dragons A Camargn,
Gen. ilorpn has about , 900 troops OF the

Wool received notice that a force of about

Avalez had left Matehuala and advanced
within 60 miles, of Baena Vista. This
party constituted the advance Of a strong
division. which. it is reported by the
Mexicans. was about to advance from San
Luis Potosi, under Generals Valencia aud
and Salas. BY the last accounts from
San Luis there were but four or five thous,

who " as 10 New Orleans on the 18Th in.

band, Mr. Franklin Chase, which she has
furnished the Mercury Of that city, and
which gives the following passages;
TAMpIco, July 1ltb, lS47.
Although you sailed yesterday, and up
TO this momen, nothing Of Importance has
transplred to disturb the peace Of our lit,
tie city, yeti cannot let this opportunity
pass without saying few words you.
Since writing the above, have just
met two gentlemen from Tie city Of llexi>
co, who inform me that the offers Of peace
made by the United States, through Mr..
Frist, are sc fed at BY the Mexicsns. So
much the better for the cause Of humanity.
Ny fellow passenger, Mr.. Pluck, is one
Of the gentlemen from Mexico, and he as
sures me that all foreigners now dread a
premature peace. They now know Mex
lean perfdy, aud he assures me that, how
ever great our contempt might have been
against them, we had but a faint idea Uf
their real vilIanons propensities.
On the Goth ullimo General Scott was
within nine miles Of the city Of Mexico,
and, presume, has planted the American
flag there ere this. We hear that Col.
De Rnsy is pressing on rapidly and this
day, hope, will crown him with glory.

INFORMATION.

For the benefit and to calm the excited
minds of some men, we will just say, that
the article signed @ in the Corner is in no
way connected With any county officer of
Wyandot county; and to the best of our
knoledge is not nor never has been candi-
date for any Office since our residence in the
county. He is one of the pure hard f.ied
Democrats ,oho labors hard for likelihood
He resides several miles from this place, and
we believe had nothing else in view than the
good of the Democratic party.

Sweeten Life.

Oh, how glorious TO make every thing
pleasan,--to throw sunshine on every
cloud Sweeteu life by smiles, kind
words, and sunshine, Make joy TO spring
10 your path, aud love TO glow on every
face. Instead Of showing angry feeling TO
the boy who sweeps dirt upon you, say to
him with asmiles my little fellow be
careful and pass on. Depend upon il
the boy will not trouble you again. To
the man who put his double fist 10 your
face say, my dear sir have more respect
for yourself aud il will Change his mind
in moment. Do you ever meet a person
down al the heel! Squeeze his hand and
point 10 an acre Of sunshine, resting on
fair hills. Has poverty brought your
friend to the blaes. Open your heart aud
your pnrse.--A large heart and bright dol
lars will sweep the cloud from his face
Sweeten life, we repeat. There is sor
row and pain and disappointment enough,
in all conscience, without your adding to
the amount. There is loud calls for smiles,
love, kindness, sw eet words, and cheerful
looks; il you have nothing, these you can
bestow, and add large amount 10 the
stock Of human comfort aud human hap
piness.

PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
Democratic Pioneer

We are desrous of extending the crcula.
ton Of our paper, and in order to do so, We
call upon all our friends for their assistance
The county of Wyandot is yet new and bu,
thlnly settled, and to keep up a paper in this
place, it Is necessary to make great exertions
and to this end we invite and call upon every
friend to lend us his aid on the present occa-
sion. Will you do it!
We have endeavorcd to render our paper
as interesting and worthy support as the Cir
cumstances would admit, and how far we
have succeeded is for our patrons to say. Our
exertlons shall not cease here, for we intend
to at least to try and print paper that will
merit and receive living support. 1t is a
difficult matter to make paper as interesting
where the support is SO very limited as it has
been here, as it might otherwise be. Then
to render the paper interesting, let US have
your support. We commenced the publica-
ton under no very encouraging circumstances
and have kept up our paper with very great
difficulty, and now wish our friends to give us
little more aid.
1t is our intention to give all the latest and
most interesting news we can, miscellany,
war and political.
The DEMOCRATIC PIONEER, it may
be expected while in our hands, will be free
from every thing like control by any man or
set of men other than the editor, fearing no
threats, and being free from any combination
other than the party with which il is connected.
1t will advocated the same doctrines that have
heretofore appeared in it, being Democratic
in every particular.
With our position before you, we ask for
your support and aid to increase our subscrip-
ton. We will see in a short time what can
and will be done.

Well merited hit.

The following case of a well merited
hit is copied from the Louisville Demos
Graf.
One Of the candidates Tor Lieut.. Colo.
mel, at the camp over in Jeffersonville,
the o,her day made speech to the boys.
Alluding to the difficulty of raising com.
pany, he mentioned the opposition from
Mexican wings, One man said-are you
not afraid to meet Mexicansi No, said the
recruiting officer, meet white Mexicans
every day. aud am not the least afraid OF
their copper colored brethern: Another
says, oh! this Is most miserable ar, nd
ought to be stopped; our army should be
withdrawn. The officer only replied that
he wished we had another old Marior.-

there is now great need ofhis services

REWARDED.

Our Independence in refusinging to pub
lish an article, entirely private in its bearing,
has been rewarded. Since we made known
the fact that man had ordered his paper dis
continued because we would not publish an
article for him, three noble hearted men came
in and subscribed. This is the way men Of
mind and principle act. They do not wish to
see the editor Of paper, submit to the dc
tates and commands of every person without
proper resentment We expect to still fur
ther increase our subscription list

The Human Hair.

The bair is the foliage of the head, il is
the brightest ornament OF the human cap
ital; which, stripped 10 the winter of age
or Of discontent, locks like the skeleton
tree in January. The formation of the
hair is reed,like. built like the spire of a
church, oombining strenghtness. Grey
hairs are caused by grief, and some times
most suddenly, as in the case of Marie
Antoiaet'e. The same effect is produced
oy age; the membrane which secretes the
oolonriog matter being paraIysed b, the
cold Of grief or Of time. In badness. the

receive any support from the paper without
paying well for it.
I CANDIDATES..

NOMINATIONS.

The Democracy of this county should
make sach selections as will meet with the
whole support of the party, for nothing goes
farther towards harmonizing and strengthen
i ing the party than good nominations. Let
good and true men be selected on to morrow W,
and our success will be certain. After our
nominations are made, let US have but one
aim---one watch word, and let that be the
success of the nominees. Before nomina-
tions every man ought to exercise his own
judgment and have his preference, but after
the mountainous are made, no true and sub.
stantal Democrat will have preference
His only aim will be to advance the interest
of the party and secure the election Of the
nominee.
The following from the Steubenville I'm
ion, we recommend to every Democrat in the
county, and hope it will receive the attention
it merits. tis just as applicable to this as
any other county. 'A'e'4
in the selection Of candidates, we trust
our democratic friends will endeayor to make
nominations to which the least possible fault
will be found; of men, W no are firm aud con-
sisent in their political principles, and worthy
the support of the Democratic party. Can
didates, selected because of their moral worth,
and sound politics, reralways popular with
the people and the energetic, active men of
the democratic party are always aroused
when such men are in the field, and laboring
without cessation to the end. That candi-
date, who can only rally aronnd him luke.
warm spirits, is d doomed man. To have
strong, ardent friends, though they be only
few, is still preferable in the matter Of sue
cess, to hosts of sluggish, inactive beings,
who do little for themselves and less for
others and to secure the latter alone in
ones behalf, in any project, political or 9th
erwise, is but tardy way of acquiring emf
nence or accomplishing triumph.
With candidates, who are men of princi-
pie, we see no bar to the success of the
democratic party this fall. A victory must
ensue if we have good nominations; for the
people will only rally to the polls when prln-
cipe is not lost sight Of, and when convinced
that their nominations are worthy of their
support.
Candidates, too, who are men of principle,
never require Of The organ Of The party the
adoption of system of personal vituperation
against opponents, IA course which not only
degrades aparty but works vastly to its inju-
ry,) in the expectation of taking votes from
them thereby. Neither will candidate, who
is man of principle, grumble because the
press of the party is not denoted exclusively
to making him a hero; the only one who
should be talked about; and peans Of glory
sung to. The man of principle is always
willing TO rest upon his own merits forsSpc-
cess, conscious that sooner or later beBhall
