To THE PRESIDENT.
THE PRESIDENT TO Mr.. BENTON.
WASHINGTON, March 9th, lS47.

Sir II have given to your letter of the 9th
instant the consideration which its Importance
demands. In rendering to you the appointment
of Major General in the Army | earnestly &C.
sired that the country should have the advantage
of your conceded ability and military knowl-
edge, your intimate acquaintance with the Mex
lean character, and your familiarity with then
language and political condition.
Immediately after your nomination as MAC
General had been unanimously confirmed by the
Senate, carefully examined the question wheth.
er possessed the power to designate yOu--a
junior Major Generate the chief command OF
the army in the field. The result of this exam
nation is, | am constrained TO say, settled
conviction on my mind, that such power is moi
conferred on me by existing laws.
| lam fully sensible of the exalted patriotism
which could alone have induced you 10 make
the personal sacrifices to which you would be
subjected in assuming even the chief command
of the Army in Mexico, and duly appreciate
the reasons you have assigned, and which may
| fear, prevent you from accepting your appoint
ment as Major General. If Oh further refec-
ton such should be your decision, | shall learn
| it with deep regret.
| am sir, with high consideration, very re-
spectfully, your obepient servant
JAMES X. POLK.
To Major General Thos. H. Benton, Wash
ington.
The Lntetligencer contains in this connec-
ton, a couple of notes from Mr.. Benton to the
President and the adjutant General, declining
the appointment of Major General. They are

Destructcue Ere.-At about 6 o'clock last
evening, fire broke out in the Grocery store of
Stebbies & Co., adjoining the Commercial Ho-
tel Block. When first discovered the flames
had made such progress, that it was impossible
so check them until the entire contents were
consumed. At one time it was feared that the
entire block might be destroyed, as the fire pro-
crossed rapidly. and threatened all the adjacent
buildings but through the efficiency of our new
engiees, and the old ones that were in order, the
flames were confined to the building where the
fire originated
. Stebbins & Co. lost all their books and pa
pers, to the amount of some $4,000. Insured
for $4,000. The store is owned by Hon. Il.
A. Burrows, and is insured Jor $4,000, either
in the Etna or Protection Company. This
will probably cover the damage, as the walls
are not very materially injnred.-Bnf Erp'
