SECOND MISSISSIPPI REGIMENT. - We learn
from the correspondence Of the Picayune, that
Capt. Clark was elected Colonel of the second
regiment of Mississippians on the 18th Of o..
tober. He had previously been elected, ac-
cording to the laws of Mississippi, but refused
to serve unless elected by a majority Of all the
votes cast, whereupon Gen. Wool reluctantly
ordered another election, the result Of which
we have mentioned. The ballotings were as

PUNIsHMENTs ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

! There are few things which have incurred more
fixed sort OF reproach than the pursuits of the stock
jobber, yet we believe there are few portions of the
world of trade where dishonorabe dealing is more
promptly punished, or more completely excludes
the culpr from admission into the transactions and
consultations Of the leading operators, than the Ex-
change, whether of London, Paris New York, or
Philadelphia. In the two last we believe they pun
ish by expulsion from the Board of Brokers any
dishonest conduct which comes to their notice; but
the London penalty we find described in the fol-
lowing paragraph of new book

HOW Is THIS !

The Union of Thursday night contains the fol.
lowing editorial paragraph:
"We deem it probable that if Mr. Buchanan's despatch
had been transmitted TO the Mexican Government fDimedael
ir me battle o Cerro G0rd0 should have had peace
before this period Why it transmitted is raye
question but we undertake assert, confidently that this
was not the fault Of Mr.. Trist. On the contrary he did
every thing IN his power to have forwarded through General
Scott"
Here woulb seem TO be an imputation of some
sort on General ScoTT, and we believe il is the
second time that the Union has minated some de-
nquency in that officer in regard to the object of
Mr.. IRIsT's mission to Mexico. In this instance,
however, we apprehend that the Union has shot its
bolt in the dark. The battle of Cerro Gordo occur
red on the 18th April; at that time "Mr. Buchanans
despatch" was scarcely written; it is dated in this
city on the 18th of April, only two days before the
battle; and Mr.. TRIsT, who conveyed it to Mexico,
arrived at Vera Cruz on the 9th of Nav, and at
Jalapa, General SCOTS headquarters, on the 18th
of May. How then could the General have for
warded despatch " Immediately after the battle of
Cerro Gordo" which did not reach him until nearly
month after that battle

FRIGHTFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

The Boston Courier gives the following detailed account Of
late accident the Norwich and Worcester railroad which
has before been briefly noticed
On Tuesday morning two cars of the freight train from
Norwich loaded with railroad ron became from some cause
detached from the train at the Oxford depot As there

CAPTAIN ALVIN EDISON.

Our last paper announced the death on board the
trgate Raritan Of this gallant officer of Marines.
lie had just before bravely led his little force in the
attack of Tabasco and escaped the bullets of the
enemy only to fall victim to the more deadly pes
thence of the climate. He also led the same force
in the investment of Vera Cruz and rendered SER
vices, OF which the republication of the following
paragraph may serve at this moment to refresh the
memory of our readers:
Durng the late Vera Cruz the marines of the
Gull squadron formed into three companies under the
command of Captain EnsoN popular and gallant officer
assisted by Leus Garland, Slack, Simms Adams and May
son, OF the marine corps and placed the disposition of
Scott by Com Conner They attached to the Sd art
lery under COL Beton and constituted about half of his COM
mand They landed on the 9th March with the line Of the
army and were very actively employed during the investment
and were the first open and the last leave the trenches
The first man killed in the trenches was a marine Thew
were detached by Gen Scott when the city had surrendered
and after marching into the city, returned their respective
vessels Their services have been warmly acknowledged
both by Gen. Scott and Gen. Worth in their respective gene
raj orders and elsewhere and also Capt Epson on the oc
casion of detachment" ....

THE FRIGATE RARITAN.

Inc Norfolk Herald furnishes the following list
OF the Officers of the Frigate Raritan, whose arrival
IN Hampton Roads on Thursday was mentioned in
our last paper;
Captain, FRENCH FonREsr Lieutenants T. r Roots
M. w. L. Claiborne, William A. Parker James S. Biddle
surgeon Solomon Sharp Passed Assistant Surgeon j. H.
wright actng Master, George H. Cooper Purser, Nat.

William H. Parker; Captains Clerk H. G. Weehtman
Masers Mate, John NJ Ballard Boatswain John Munro
Carpenter Amos Chicks; saimaker, Thos. j. Boyce.
Passengers-CommanderW William Nc Clancy, Commander

Lieut.. William G. May. Lieut. M c. Marin Assistant Sur
geon W. Sherman, Midshipmen March and Hodge, Com
manders Clerks Abrams and Watson, Carpenter C. H.
Boardman.
We learn from the Herald that previous to leav-
ing the squadron the Rartan received on board
number OF sick from the other ships, all of chronic
diseases, seven of whom died OH the passage home
and the lost ten of their number from bilious
remittent fever, of which there were many cases on
board when the ship arrived all, however, in
state of convalescence. They have all been land
ed at the Naval Hospital. The disease, though
malignant in its character, is reported by the ply
slcans as not contiguous and not single instance
OF Uonito has occurred on board the ship. 1t is
intended to transfer the healthy portion of the crew
to the frlgates BraadyWine and Cumberland now
at the Gosport Navy Yard, and in active progress
of equipment for sea.
Besides Capt. Epson, Captain Of Marines, who
died of fever at Havana on the 18th, we notice
among the deaths the name of Midshipman r. B.
SToRER, son OF Capt. Gro. w. SToRER, of the
Navy. He died on the 4th instant.
We are happy to learn that we were misinform
ed as to Lieut. MAY, of the Navy, (who has return
ed home in the United States ship Raritan,) hav-
ing lost his right arm. His wound, in that arm,
was most severe one, and he is yet suffering very
painfully under it, It, however, gives us great
pleasure to state that it is the opinion of his bro
ther, DIR. J. F. MAY, IAN eminent Surgeon of our
city, that his arm will be saued, though the pro-
cess of cure may be tedious and painful.

The length of time which has elapsed since the
receipt OF any intelligence from Gen. ScoTT occa
slons good deal OF anxiety respecting him and
events which may have occurred since he was
heard from. Our latest accounts from Puebla where
the General then was, are now month DID, We
have, sngularly enough later dates from the city
OF Mexico, though nothing later from Gen. Scott
or his army. =
We observe, by the way, that the Lnion's late
hit at the General appeared to the intelligent cor
respondent of the Journal of Commerce in the
same light that 1t did to ourselves. That writer, un-
der date OF the 24th instant, says:
"The sUnion and the Administration are of the opinion
that # Cen Scott had forwarded proposals for peace to
the Mexican Government Immediately battle Of Ger
70 Gordo we should this have had peace That battle
was fought on the 18th of April and thirty days before Mr.

mat there was any unnecessary delay all the part of
Gen Scott Of Mr. Trist in the communication of the pro-
position for negotiation.
"TLe Administration take decided part in favor of Mr.
Irist IN the difficulty, whatever may be- that has occurred
between him and Gen Scott"
The same writer adds, under the same date:
"fhere has been time when the military rulers of
Mexico ready to make peace and still less were thew
IN favor OF when they found that Gen. Taylor could not
advance upon San Luis and that Gen. Scots force was ut
terry inadequate TO any decisive movements They expect
now that his force will remain inactive melt away without
obtaining auy important results"
