Lands by Military Warrants.

We insert the following for the in
formation Of those who desire to locate
public land under the law of Februar,
18th, l847, for military services in the
Mexican war.
lst. The location of The Certificate
or Warrant must be made on lands
'subject to private entry" according tc
"legais Subdivisions" and sin one body.'
In the 100 acre warrants, the party
may take either a whole "quarter sec
ton" of that area, or two adjoining 80
acre tracts, or may even select the
smallest legal subdivisions, if in some
body," and the selection does not ex-
coed 100 acres. The selection always
to be in as compact a form as possible.
Cd. The law expressly forbids the
location of a warrant upon any lands to
which there shall be "a pre-, emption
right, or upon uhiah there shall be an
actual settlement and cultivation."
Sd. No location must be allowed on
any lands mhich IRE reserved or witA-
drawn from market for any purpose
whateuer, nor is the location admissible
upon any lands where the minimum is
greater than Sl,25 per acre, as the law
intends to confne the location to the
general class Of unclaimed, unsettled
public lands, subject to private entry at
the usual minimum.
If the warrants are presented at the
land offices by al assignee, the assign
ment must bear date subsequent to the
warrant, in substantial form and duly
acknowledged. If presented by an at
tornev of the warrantee or assignee,
his power must be filed and properly
authenticated, and sent on with the pa.
pers.
The law it seems, allows no COM
missions to the Registers and Receiv-
ers for attending to this business

From Vera Cruz and Tampico.

The steamship Galveston, at New
Orleans, brings dates from Vera Cruz
TO the 9Th inst, and Tampico to the
10th:
Captain Scott, who came passenger
on the steamship Galveston, from Tam
pico, states that eight Of the men who,
were taken prisoners with Cassius M.
Clay, have arrived at that place. In
company with some eighteen others,
they had made their escape from Quail
apa, a small town, about one hundred
and twenty miles from tampico. The
eighteen had been taken within seven
miles Of the city.
PURsuIr.-Col. De Busy, with about
two hundred men, and one piece Of mr.
tlllery. left TampIco on the 9th instant,
for Rualapa, in search of the liberated
Americans. He had not been heard
from when the Galveston left.
HEALTH.--The health of Tampico
had improved very much at lnte.-
There had only been three or four deaths
by yellow fever. The principal sick
ness at that place was diarrhea.
A letter to the N. Orleans Times, da-
ted Vera Cruz. July 9th. saws:
Cen. Pearce and his train will leave
on Saturday for the main body of the
army. The troops in his division will
number neaI three thousand; and If the

Mexican MeanneSs.

The editors Of the Butler County In
telligencer, in their wrath at the hon
ors done the "Butler Boys on their re
turn from the wars, suffered their spIeer
to escape by charging Col Weller witt
having cowardly sheltered himself be-
hind a wall in the battle Of Monterey,
Col. Weller being absent, and the But,
Ter Boys "knowing it to be a base false
hood, felt it to be their duty to have il
retracted Immediately, and according.
" Capt. George called on Mr.. How.
ellis, and tod him that the charge was
false, and must be taken back without
delay"
The Mexican editor then crawls out
of his predicament, as follows:
"Capt. George, in the Colonel's alb
sence, felt called upon to see US on the
subject, and has referred US to several
offs the Butler Boys who were in the
battle. They ASSURE US that we did
great injustice to Col. Weller in that
alIusion; and that his conduct through
out that attack was noble and daringin
the extreme and also, that 'his brave
and chivalric bearing was the subject
of conmon remark with the men,"

or Gen. Scott, who, at the call of his country,
fights her battles and defends her fair fame? Let
these things be remembered.

the malicious %objector, alarmed at the magnitude
of the undertaking, and Justly despairing o fsuccess,
will lack courage to make the attempt.
But how is it under the present system, in which
ffty-fve men can always elect, and in which, a.

of the General Assembly, in the privacy of their
apartments; thus infusing his own suspicious, his
own surmises, his own malevolence, without a
fair opportunity for investigation or defence. That
this influence has long been at work, undermining
and violating the independence and purity of the
Judiciary is evident to every rejecting man, &C.

Fellow Citizens, as surely as l write these lines,
a popular election will increase and insure the
%frmness, the impartiality, the integrity and the in
dependence of the Judges. And not only so, but
it is the only practicable mode remaining to US to
insure those desirable results; for an election dur
ing good behaviour is advocated by none. The
system of Legislative elections is becoming Justly
odious to rejecting men, but it is ON account of
its unfairness, and its liability to abuse, and in
trigue, and management, and undetermined deal.
ing, and contrivance.
If the PLAIN and honest citizens would preserve
their just and due weight in the government, and
not yield an unjust and undue advantage to those
who are acquainted with men and things at Colum-
bus, they will reform our defective institutions,
and place them on a more broad and equal founda.
ton. And if advancement and improvement
are laws ofhuman nature, instituted by Heaven, we
must have a Convention to amend our Constitution.
