More results of the Preamble.

We have seen n letter from a very intrlligrn
gentleman, dated Char Ioue, January 26, lS47," /"
which states that no little disorganizalion exists
among the Volunteers" at that station. The writer
SAYS: His Excellcncy Gov. Graham, is denoun-
ced here by men of all parties, and the Wing
legislature is not spared. The "Preamble' is
the cause of rather more excitement among the
people than had anticipated. A great indigna-

been taken up and adopted at once as it would

agreed to it; and if two places Of Rendezvous had

purpose, as has been suggested, of rendering it

GEN. LOUIS D. WILSON.

The Milledgeville (GeOrgia) Union, one of the
most respectable papers in the South after noticing
the appointments made by Gov Graham Of Field
Officers for the North Carolina Regiment, says
awe regret that his Excellcney should have
overlooked the claims of Gen. Wilson, who re

"Gen. Wilson stands deservedly very high, no
only as civilian, but as an officer; and it wa.

Wilson's merits, in selecting Brigadier to com
mand the three Regiments from Virginia, NORTH
and South Carolina" .

THE MARKETS.

The New York Express of the 29th ullimo
says:
"The tidin2s from Europe by the steamer, to the
9th instant, Of the most Interesting character
Tho rise in cotton was expected, bnt the advance
breadstuffs was altogether unlocked for. The
demand for American productions was never as
great as by the last accounts and there is no doubt
supplies will be wanted for full six eight months
to come. The news had most wonderful effect
here and at other points; Flour, Corn and Wheat,
have run up at a most extraordinary rate Cotton
has improved cent; Freights have advanced, and
vessels are in the greatest demand The arrival OF
specie has been larger than was supposed. The
advance in Cotton will add to the item of our ex-
ports, so as 10 swell the amound beyond any thing
that We have known for years. Our farmers,
planters and shipowners, will realize a rich har-
vest for sometime to come. These great in
teress, and, when successful, will have command
ing influence on the prosperity of the country.
The crop of Cotton will 60 forward this season at
near one hundred per cent. advance from what
1t was two years ago. Merchants now expect
very brisk and fourishing Spring Trade, and
there is every reassn to believe they will not be
disappointed"
The above is from Whig paper.
AT the latest dates from New York, Wheat was
selling at from one dollar and forty to one dollar
and fifty cents per bushel and Corn at S5 per
barrel, one hundred thousand bushels having been
sold at that price within short time.
At Fayetteville on Saturday last, Cotton was
selling at eleven and half cents per pound !;
Wheat at 90 cents per bushel: Linseed Oil at
from rs to 80 cents per gallon; and Corn at from
SO to 55 cents per busheL
Al Wilmington on Friday last, Turpentine was
giving way slightly in price, being worth, for
virgin and yellow, from two dollars and fifteen
10 two dollars and twenty-five cents the timber
and lumber market was inactive and Corn was
selling at from 65 to 70 cents per busheI.

THE CLAW AND ORDER PARTY"


Our readers will recollect that at the late cleo
lion in New York for Governor, the Wings, by
uniting with the Anti Renters, defeated Sias
Wright and elected Mr.. Young; and what has
been the rcsult2 Why, Gov. Young, in pursu-
ance of an agreement made with tho Anti RENTERS
before the election, has pGrdoned those of them
who were in prison for violating the laws, and
has turned them loose upon society. We quote
from the New York Correspondence of the Wash
ington Union:
"The deed is done! Gov. Young has kept his
part Of the bargain, by which he was elected. He
has released all the ant-rent prisoners-murder-
ers and all-frem prison, ana let them loose again
on society, hardened by their impunily for guilt,
and their triumph over the laws. The governor
attempts through long manifesto of four or five
columns of most disingenious special pleading TO
excuse his act and refers to various royal Prece-
dents He had better have spared himself the
trouble and observed the same discreet silence
which he kept in his message the subject Of an
tl-rent. No one is deceived; and the attempt is
felt as an insult TO common sense, added TO the
outrage on the laws. 1t cannot be that such deed
will not meet its just reward"
Here is Governor of the law and order y
party, first elected by Infamous union with the
Anti Renters, and then releasing murderers from
prison, "hardcned by their impunity for guilt,
and their triumph over the laws" We challenge
the Raleigh Register, or any other Wing print,
even to ' cheap" upon this subject.

THE LATEST NEWS.

The latest accounts from Taapco a1ts tha
Col. May of the Dragoonss had an enga gement
about the first Of January, with portion of the
enemy IN a desperate mount in PISS Between
Monte Morales and Linafes, in which he lost
eleven men and three horses, and eeven pack
mules. His command consisted Of some 20 or 80
men, and the enemy cut of his rear guard, and
destroyed the number above alluded 10. by rolling
stones down the mountain into the pass, which was
scarcely wide enough for single horseman.A s
The rumor that Glen. Santa Anna, with 80 900
men, was between The divisions OF Generals Tay-
Tor and Worth, is contradic.ed.
Al the latest dates a large Mexican force was at
lula, under the command Of Generals Valencia,
Urea, Romero, &c. and other forces were repor.

enty-six were foreigners. This was stated by

THE FIELD OFFICERS.

The Register of yesterday struggles to sustain
Gov. Graham in his Field appointments by pub
fishing list of names signed to a recommends
ton in favor of Col. Fagg TO that Officer, and
pifed to find some fifteen Democratic members
OF tho House of Commons. Surely His Excel
lency must be hard run, when he allows his friend
of the Register to resort to pitiful trick in his
behalf-for trick il is designed to create the be-
lief that the Democrats desired Col. Fagg's ap.
pointment.
Now what are the facts2 1t is notorious tha,
Col Fagg himself carried round kis recon-
mendation among The members, and in person So
icIed their signatures Among others, he asked
US to recommend him, but we declined to do so, no,
because we did not entertain for him personally
the kindest feelings. but because, under all the
circumstances, we thought it our duty to withhold
our name Every body knows how easy it is 10
procure signatures: especially when an applica-
lion Is made IN person by the gentleman expected
to be bcneiued by them, and that too 10 attached
personal friends-and also, as in this case, when
gentlemen signing did not wish, in any way, to
put the matter on party grounds. We repeat, VIC
then entertained, as We do now, the kndest feel
ings personally for MIR. Fagg-he is in truth, a
whole-souled generous fellow; and we told him
at the time, that all things considered we regarded
him as better suited to tho office he desired to OBJ
tain than Mr.. Paine would be 10 his and in max
ing these remarks we do not Intend TO censure, in
the slightest degree, those Democratic gentlemen
who united in the recommendation, but only to
define our own position and to state ho,O the thing
was DONE The Register must blame itself and
its party Governor for having dragged these facts
before the public.
But one simple question will settle the whole
matter, as far as Democratic signatures are con-
cerned. If Governor Graham was so willing to
listen to Democratic recommendations, and so
anxious to consult the wishes of the Democratic
party on this subject, why did he not, in compIl-
ance with the strong desire of euery Democratic
membe, of III: t.co Houses, and of the entire party
in the State, TO say nothing ofthousands of Whigs)
bestow some Field appointment on Gen. Wilson ?
Will the Register make answer TO this question 2
