LIEUTENANT GENERAL.

In accordance with the recommendation OF
President Polk, Bill has been introduced and
is now pending, nthe Senate Of the United States
TO create the Office Of Lieutenant General. The
real object Of the President, in recommending the
creation Of this unnecessary office, is to super
cede ALL the gallant officers now in Mexico. He
has not the power, under the present laws organ
izing and regulating the army, to appoint an Off
Ger of higher grade than those already in the
field; hence therecommendation. We know not
what disposition Congress will make of the bill
now under consideration, is it material to our
purpose. So far as the President is concerned,
he is as responsible as if the act were in full force
the cloven-foot has been thrust into full view
and it is now too late to withdraw it. Though
the battles of Bridgewater and Chippewa have a.
dorned the brow of one officer with impe rshable
laures, and the blood-stained fields of Palo Alto,
Resaca de la Palma, and Monterey, have render.
ed the name of another dear to every heart that
thrills with pride at the success Of the American
arms, those officers are, in the Presidents est-
mation, incompetent to maintain the honor of the
American arms! incompetent to sustain the hon.
or Of the American hag The people are mista-
ken in regard to the bravery of those officers, and
it is high time they were undeceived Such is vir.
tuaIly the language of the President.
Who is to be this officer who is to prosecute
the present war to glorious termination, when a
Scott, Taylor, and Worth, would utterly fail
TO accomplish such a RESULT Madam Rumol
points to an honorable member Of the Senate o.
the United States, "a very worthy man in his pro-
per sphere) whose only military feat, recorded in
history, "came off, many years ago, in thestre
of Nashville. The laures won, and wounds re.
ceived on that occasion, may have so endeared
him to "Young Hickory" and to the "unterrif'
ed Democracy" that fat office will be created
for his especial benefit! We shall see!
PosTcRIPT.-Since the above was put in typ

measure of President has received its quetus il

county BbeSociety, operating in connexion with
the American Bible Society, appeared to be doing

an obsolete idea7 mean to cast no reflection

SPECIAL ELEcTIoNs.-The special election late.
ly held in Arkansas, to fill the vacancy in the
presen, Congress, occasioned the resignation of
Mr.. Yell, Loco, has resulted in the election Of
Mr.. Newton, the Wing candidate.
A special election was recently held in the 4th
Congressional District of Vermont, for member
to the 3Oth Congress (she people having hereto
fore failed to elect member) and resulted in the
choice of Lucius B. Peck, Loco, by a plurality
of about 500 votes.
The result of the special election in MississiP-
p, to fill the vacancy in the present Congress oc.
casioned by the resignation Of Jefferson Davis,
is still in doubt. Advices, from private source,
confidently assert that Stark, the Wing candidate,
is unquestionably slccted whilst many of our
exchanges assert, with equal confidence, that his
opponent has been successful.

NEWS FROM THE ARMY.

The anxiety, felt in every quarter, on account
Of the news from the seat Of war, received du.
ring the latter part of last week, has at length
been ouie,ed. From the latest intelligence il ap.
pears that the statement, heretofore published, aud
generally credited, that Santa Anna was adyan-
cling upon Saltillo with force Of $4,000 men,
and lhatan engagement was aseEpecled to take place
about Christmas, was premature. Santa Anna
had not, at our latest dates, moved from San Luis
PotOsi, nor was there any probability Of his mo-
wing from that place. The forceOf Gen. WORTH
at Saltillo, had been strengthened BY the arrival
of Gen. Butler. Gen. Taylor was moving to-
wards TampicO. The Sd Regiment of the Ohio
Volunteer had left Malamoras for Camargo'-
SANTA Anna had been elected President oil the
speudo Republic of Mexico.
Such, in brief, is the latest intelligence from
Mexico. We spprehend that there will be no
battle fought for some times every thing indica'
ting ,As, Santa Anna will not leave his encamp-
meut a, San Luis PotoSi, until he is driven forth
by force. 1t is not probable that Gen. Taylor
viii advance further than TamPico until the arri'
val Of the volunteers now en- route for Mexico.
Gen. Scott had not arrived at the head quarters
Of the army.

SENATOR SQUIREs.-The opinion is very gene
rally entertained by the Wings throughout the
State, that, if this gentleman's health is such as
still to preclude his entering upon the discharge
Of his duties, he owes it to himself and to the
State, to vacate the seat which he cannot occu.
py, and thus put period to the present deplora-
Bile condition of affairs in the Senate. From
this opinion "certain" brace Of Editors on Yell
low Creek very cOurteously dissent. While we
dissent from the conclusion expressed by those
Editors without solitary reason to sustain it, we
very much admire their Independence!
We clip the foregoing paragraph from paper
printed within view of the Capitol of the State.
So far as our observation extends, the assertion
with which it sets out is, in truth, without any
substantial foundation; but, admitting it were true,
what bearing has it upon the question? Who is
to be the Judge in the premises? the "Whigs
throughout the State," or the gentleman immedi-
ately interested! We regret the absence Of Mr..
Squires from the Senate as much as any one can
do; yet we should be sorry to see him go to Co.
lumbus if, by SO doing, his life would be jeopar.
died. and further, we regard himself as the most
competent judge-nay, the only competent Judge
to decide upon the course by which he is to be
governed. If he, untrammeled by outward die
tation, comes to the conclusion that he ought to
resign his seat in the Senate; be it so: but if he
is to be forced to vacate his seat to accommodate
"the Wings throughout the State," IL. e. the ed
tor of the Ohie State Journal, we shall still dis
sent, the cOgent reasoning of the aforesaid edto
to the contrary Notwithstanding!
The course Of the Journal upon this subject il
not the first evidence Of dictation we have seer
in the columns of that paper since the presen
editor Of that sheet has entered the tripod. He
will ere long, we ween, discover that the country
press regard as ertrG judicial the commands Of I
self constituted general. We, however, are no
much surprised at the course Of the Journal, in

whilst the Wings may rest assured that in advo-
eating the doctrine he has espoused he will not
forget that he is gentleman. We heartily con-
graduate our young friend upon his entrance into
the editorial fraternity; and though our own brief
experience assures US that his path will not alirays
be strewn with roses, we wish him fair field and
an abundant harvest. 1t gives US pleasure to re-
new, editorially, the friendship, interrupted few
years since, by the unavoidable events in human
affairs, which sometimes make it essential for the
best of friends to separate and become strangers
by extending TO our quOndam friend the rightO1
of fellowship.

DAMAGES BY THE FOOOD.

The papers for fortnight past have teemed
with accounts of damages done by the freshet of
January and 3, throughout a great portion of
Ohio, and one or two other States. Besides the
loss of bridges, mill-damS and canal banks, the
injuries sustained by farmers, especially in the
great valleys, in the loss Of fences and corn, is
great beyund all precedent IN Ohio. The Scioto
river was higher than it was ever known before,
and ovcrhowed the broad fertile bottoms to very
great extent, sweeping away hundreds of miles
Of fences, and thousands of acres of unhusked
corn, together with some sheep, hogs, and other
farm stock From little below this city, to the
vicinity of Chillicolhe, comprising perhaps the
greatest body of corn land in the State, the prin-
cipal part of the past seasons crop was standing
in shocks on the ground, as it is fed in the stalk
to fatting cattle during winter; consequently the
loss to the farmers in this valley is much greater
than elsewhere. We have seen no reliable esti'
mates of the amount Of damage sustained, but al
agree that it is very gteat.-Ohio C@ltiratOr.
