Sharp Shooting and no Mstake.-
There is a class of persons in this commu-
nifty as well as in many others, who are
nicely hit off in the following good-tempered
satire. We shall not allow ourselves to
say who compose that class of individuals,
but recommend our readers of all Parties to
peruse the article and make the application
as their good sense may direct.
"This is a curious country! It's history
would afford ample matter for moral lee
lures, sermons, and philosophical disqus-
tons upon human nature, and the ends of
government. What a strange fatality hangs
over the unfortunate republic! IT'S pain
jul to contemplate. TO be sure, little
half a century ago, we numbered only three
millions of English colonists; now we are a
mighty nation of freemen, ruling the great
continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Ills true we have a boundless commerce, a
brave army, and a gallant navy, innumera-
bic statesmen of distinguished ability, learn
cd writers and professors, and in word, all
things that constitute national greatness and
power-yct what does this avail US! We
are always wrong-always criminal in the
eyes Of Heaven and Earth. We have gone
through seven contests, fought hard battles,
grined glorious victories. We are never
theless wrong all the time. Wrong in IVA
when opposing the imbecile tyrant of Great
Brtain-sO said the tories. Wrong in
1917, when we proclaimed Free Trade
and Sailors Rights and hogged the Brit
ish second tlme-So sail the federalisfs.
Wrong in 1884, when General JAG son
threatened France, for indemniics. Wrong
in the Creek war. Wrong in the Black
Hawk war. Wrong in the Seminole war.
And now again wrong in the war with
Mexico-so sag many 'chigs. Pray tell
us, when will America ever be right, where
there is fighting to be done! We do really,
sincerely, anxionsly. deploringly, distress
eddy, and most vchementIy hope, wish and
crave to see our country right once before
we die"

GENERAL La VEGA AND MIDsHIPMAN
RoGERs.-Our readers are aware that
hidshipman Rogers was captured by the
Mexicans, whilst on a reconnoitterring
party on shore at night, and that they have
threatened to execute him as a spy.-
Mr.. Rogers, at the time of his capture;
was in undress uniform, and this fact of
itself is enough to exonerate him from
coming within the category ola spy and
if other circumstances conspire against
him; but we believe the only ground for
the charge is, that he landed on the enc
my's territory during the night, which he
had an undoubted right to do, as al ene-
my, either TO obtain information, or to
make an attack, and the only penalty he
could legally incur, was death OF wounds
in conflict, or becoming an ordinary
prisoner of war, in case ofcapture. The
attempt therefore, to make him out spy
is perfectly ridiculous, and we are glad to
learn that Gen. LIE Vaga will be held as
hostage for his safety, and will be exc
cuted, unders orders from the Govern
ment, in case violence should be done
to Mr.. Rogers. Under these cireumstan-
ces, we think it very probable Gen. LIE
