 We have nothing definite from the army; there are various rumors as ad< verse in their purpori as the East IS from the West. l will give you an in stance, wich lake from the Picayune of this morning The first is that the Mexicans have no idea of making peace nor will they upon any reasonable terms-lhat the W ar for the next six months will be tedious and expensive that 10 bring Il 10 close, our next Con gross will have 10 raise one hundred thousand troops, and vote one hundred millions of money, and thereby con- quer peace.
 The other statement, fro.. an indiyi- dual who seems 10 be equally as know ing, and who offers to back his judgment in a bet of one hundred dollars 10 twen ty five, writing from Vera Cruz under da.e of the 9th inst, says lhst peace will be concluded before one month that the terms of the treaty have already been treated upon, and are now waiting the sanction of he two Governments.

We heard an old gentleman the othc, day, who lives in Coosa county. say that draft could he drawn on bis coun ty for 500 majority in favor of Reuben Chapman, to be paid on Monday next This old gentleman was warmly oppo sed to MT. Chapman when first nomina- Jed, preferring Col. Terry but since the whig party have become so profuse in their abuse of that man, he espouses ihe cause with determined energy. The false attempts, he says, of the whigs to use the whig styled vote of censure, is sufficient for him.

The Marion News, speaking of tie liberali'y of the Baptist in that neigh, borhood and the contemplation of bnild> ing new Church, says that Gen. King headed lhe subscription with 5 900. IL further states that Gen. King is entitled to more thanks and gratitude, fer hls large donations for the cause of religion and learning, than any man in the Sonlh ern States. We will venture the asser. iion, that Gen. King has given more than any Southern man, living or dead, ever gave for these ncb.e causes. Mir. DeFolie, the esteemed pastor of the Baptist Church in this place, informs us, thai he knows of the donation by Gen. King, of more than THIRTY THOU SAND dollars, in the last eight years, to purposes of religion and education - How much Tore are such benefactoIs of their kind worth, than al! of your noisy demagogues aud frothv politicians? SHch disinteresied, such noble and un- slinied libera!ity stould be made known. and he who thus acts the christian and philanthropist is honored, whilst living. as he will, assuredly, be rewarded and remembered, when dead.

TED SOAP is superior to all imported French,
English, or Berlin soaps. There are soaps
which are beneficial to the skin, (Radwsy's,)
and soaps which are injurious to the complex
ion. Those soaps containing muriatic acid,
bismotb, corrosive subiimate, preparations of
mercury and antimoDy, scented with strong
essential oils, as most Of the toilet soaps are
are very injurious to the skin, their general
tendency is TO irritate the cuticle, close up the
pores, thus causing the bursting forth Of hu-
mors on the surface, in the form of pimples,
blotches, pustules, ring worm, eresipelas and
other excrescences. To avoid purchasing
those dangerous compositions, ask for RAD
WAYS Chinese Medicated Soap, which is
entirely free from all de,eterious and irritating
ingredients II opens the pores, cleanses the
secretary vessels from all impurities, removes
tan, sunburn, pmples, botches, &c. renders
the skin soft, smooth, pure, clean, sweet and
healthy, and adds beauty to the complexion of
all who use IL.
During the sultry nights Of Summer, per-
sons are frequently annoyed by mosquitoes, a
few applications of lather of Railways Soap,
will allay the irritation, and remove all disfig-
urements. Railways Soap is sold by r.
Taylor, of this town, who is the principal a.
gent for Rhode Island and who will supply the
trader on the same terms the proprietor.

FREE NEGRoEs--The schooner Thomas II
Thompson which arrived m Boston. on
Wednesday, from Richmond, Va, brought
fifiy-six negroes, who formerly belonged to a
gentleman owning a plantation at Seven Mile
Reach, Va.
These people were once slaves Of Mr..
Edlow, (if the name is rightly understood }
near Richmond. This gentleman died about
four years since, and by his will provided that
his slaves should be set free, to 60 where they
pleased. But not to turn them OF utterly
penniiess, after working for him all their lives
he farther provided that if they chose, they
mght-remain on the estate as laborers until
they had earned a sum equal TO fifty dollars
apiece, over and above the cost of their main
tenancs. This they desired TO do.
Aitsr working four years on the estate, thoy
learn from ito managers, ihut their earnings,
for that time, average about $i4 30 each.-
The rest has bscn swallowed up in charges OF
maintenance aud commissions on sales Of farm
produce.
These people, finding il would be very long
at this rate, before they earned fifty dollars
apiece, determined TO stay there no longer. -
The managers tried every means to dissuade
them from coming, telling them they would
be Immediately sold for slaves at the North
but they determined to risk this, and engaged
their passage to Boston, as above.
