ft5-The Wabash Express of the Sd inst. attempts
to give sort of history of the rise and progress of
the "Butler bills" of last year and this, together
with an exposition of their provisions by ga Senator
The history is to our own knowledge uery incorrect
in nearly all its statements of facts; but do not
think it expedent at present. if it ever shall be-
give true version of it. Erroneous statements,
however, will do no good, or at any rate, it is not
right that they should pass without contradiction. As
to the exposition of the Acts by ga Senator, that
is also considered correspondent criti
c:zes his exposition as follows. We do not however,
hold ourselves responsible for the statements of this
any than for those of any other correspondent
In the Wabash Express of Feb Sd, 1S47, we find
synopsis of the to provide for the funded debt
of the State Of Indiana and for the completion of the
Wabash and Erie canal to Evansville" passed last
winter and the neac bill Of this cinter, which the ed
tor Of that journal says furnished by Senator.
We shall make but few extracts, from the EXPOSE
ton Of the bill as furnished by the Senator and COM
pare them with the provisions of the old bin of last
winter, and the bill of this winter.
The Wabash Senator says, that
"The bill of last session gave the bondholders ad-
vanced finish the canal the priority Of payment
tdneed and the principal Of the ADVANCE aso and there IL
stopped"
Now the following extracts from the eighth section
of the old BILL will show that the priority of payment,
out of the canal revenues, did not stop there and that
the Wabash Senator is entirely mistaken with regard
to the provisions of the od Jiu for find the follow
ing provisions in the eighth section of that bill:
aTo pay in full to the subscribers making said advances
their agnees interest at and after the rate Of two and one
thew may haze surrendered as aforesaid"

THE Rio GRANDE.- Lieut.. TILDEN, of the army
has recently explored this river by General Pattersons
ORDERS and proved that it is navgable by small steam
boats as far up as Persido del Rio Grande, (where
Gen. Woors division crossed) $50 miles from Its
mouth. The Steamboat Major Brown, which convey
ed the exploring party, actually assembled it to the
above place, and the water unusually low at the time.
An abundant supply of excellent coal was found near
the left bank of the Rio Salado about twelve miles by
water, eight by land, from the Rio Grande. The
mine is situated far from the old town of Guerrero

PEOPLE ARE THE RoBBERs."-N Y. Tribune, a feSe-
raj paper.
NOW HEAR HENRY CLAY.
''When saw
around me tonight General Brooke and other old
friends felt half inclined to ask for little nook
or corner In the army, in which might serve in
avenging the wrongs of my country. Applause |

slay Mexican. APPLAUSE shall not be able to
do so, however this year. but hope that success will
crown our gallant arms, and the terminate in
honorable Peace."-Mr. ClGy's speech at NeIo Or
leans.
O-It is a remarkable fact that scarcely a federal
paper in the country has yet published Mr.. CLAWS
speech at New Orleans from which the above extract
is taken, alluded to it in any manner what
ever. But the tory sentiments of the Tribune have
found a conspicuous place in more than one federal
sheet. We presume if Mr.. CLAY had declared the
world knows that 1t is Mexico which has been robbed
and imposed upon, and that our people are the ROB-
bers, these squeamishly conscientious editors would
copy the sentiment with applause. Whatever may
be said of MIR. CLAY politician, we believe he is
patriot and true-hearted American. Would to
God that all of those who admire his political opn-
ions, entertained similar views in regard to the war
with Mexico.-PiHsbHrgh Post

The N. Y. correspondent of the Union says

A few-very few-of the more violently partisan
of the federal press, endeavoring, in their blind
hate of the administration, break the force of the
Judgment which public opinion, with singular una
nimty has pronounced upon the published letter of
Gen. Taylor. 1t is of no avail, however and the fact,
now generally known for the first tme that the letter
was in all its circumstances violation Of an i'm
portant army regulation, h.curring the penalty of
dismissal from the service, merely adds point to the
severity of the unanimous condemnation.
