General MieldS.-This distinguished Off
Ger is always to be found in the thickest of
the fight, bearing our eagles TO victory. Scarce
ly had he recovered from his terrible wound
at Cerro Gordo ere we find him near the City
of Mexico chasing the flying Mcxicans in
their precipitate flight from his pursuing brig
AIDE. And although seriously wounded in this
great battle, he staunched the blood flowing
from his wound by binding his handkerchief
around it, nor quits the field till the victory is
won. Gen. Shields is a native of the Emer-
aid Isle, and we'll may his Irish friends in A
merca be proud of so brave and chivaIrous a
brother Gen. Shields is now about forty
years of age. When he received the appoint
ment of General in the United States Army
he was at the head of the Land Department,
but left his most comfortable situation to de-
fend his adopted country in the perilous strife
of sanguinary war in Mexico. Before he
was called TO preside over the Land Depart
ment rs Washington he had held the appoint
ment of Supreme Judge in the State of Hi
nois. Thus besides being gallant soldier II
ever drew a sword, he ranks among the be-
read Judges of the Republic. Post.

RALEIGH AND CASTOR ROAD.

The following article, from the Loulsburg
Times, Wing paper, we commend to the at
tentoH of the public. If ire had written this
article, or had opened on the condition and
management of the Raleigh and Castor Road
as the Editor of the Times did, in his paper of
the 18th inst, we should have been denoun-
ced as hostile to the Road and as an enemy 10
Internal improvements. What does Gov
Graham think nou of the wisdom he exer.
cise1 in purchasing this Road for the State ;
Where are the profits? His Excellency made
large promises in his last campaign-haye
they been fulfilled? Where is that celebra-
ted seven thousand dollars, paid into the State
Treasury, for political effect, during the sum
mer of 1916? Does not the Road stand in
need of it now' And was it not equally fool
sh and absurd TO declare profits on the Road,
at a time when it required ten fines the a,
mount paid in to put it in proper order, and
to procure good Engines and Cars Let the
people answer, The following is the article
from the Times:
"We called public attention, in our last, to
the great inconvenience of our merchants
from delays on this road, and to the losses
which some of them had sustained. There is
another view ofthe subject, in which the peo-
pie OF the State are deeply interested; and
that IS, the loss of income to which the State
is subjected, whenever case can be made
out against the Road, by payment for goods
mislaid, missing, or destroyed All sums so
dsbursed, are dead loss from the amount of
receipts upon the Road, and drawback up
on its repairs, as well as a great injury TO the
reputation of the ad,-and so far a reflection
upon the State. Her ultimate loss by it, it
seems to us, in any view of the case, will be
heavy one, for, in its present condition, un-
der the most judicious and economical man.
agement, we doubt whether il pays more than
lis expenses Common prudence, therefore,
i seems 10 us, would dictate closer scruti ny
into its operations, a more strict supervision
of its affairs, to save the Stateas much as pos
siblc, and prevent the application of its funds
to pay for losses occasioned by negligence, if
not crime Let the public servants look close
to the interest of the State in the matter and
many a dollar might be saved which now
goes to pay for losses"
We congratulate the Times upon its indie
| pendcnce in this matter; and as the Editor is
upon the line of the Road, and is therefore
presumed to know something about its condi
ton and management, we hope he will con-
tlnue to give us more of the same sort'-a
least until common prudence" on the part OF
"public servants" shall have done its work

" Var exists by acts of Merico This was
the solemn declaration of the United States
Congress. The vote was almost unanimous
only II in the negative. Every fact that
can be cited in the case, proves lis TRUTH
Mexico was the first to threaten war, the first
to proclaim war, and the ito commence
war. She fired the first gun, she shed the
first blood, and from first to last, has refused
TO listen to our offers OF peace. But with all
these facts staring them in the face, the Mex
lean Dons insist that the United States COM
menced the war, and so do the leaders of the
wings.
Gen. Taylor, in reply to Don Ampudia, ut
tered the following eXtinguiSher: ''On reach
ing the river despatched an officer high in
rank to convey to the commanding General at
Matamoras the expression of my desire for
amicable relations. l carefully a6Stained
from any act Of hostHty,-det that
the onus of producing an actual state of hos
tlities should not rest on me-" Since this,
nothing has been heard from Don Ampudia
on the subject. But Don Smith, who has the
honor of a seat in our national Legislature,
from this district. still rciterates the Mexican
falsehood, so efectualIy exploded by Gen.
Taylor Republican Farmer.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1847-12-03

From the Rio Grandc-Gen. Taylor had
not reached Matamoras at last accounts. He
was to leave Monterey on the 8th ult.
The health Of Matamoras is improving, the
fever fast disappearing.
The following items we extract from the
Flag of the 10th inst.
Another Rumor-The rumor among the
Mexicans now is, that four of the Mexican
States (San Luis de Potos, Zacetecas, Duran
go, and one other not namedD have declared
in favor of the monarchical scheme OF Paredes
and united, have preferred him $4,000 troops
to carry out his designs. a son of lterbide IS
fixed upon to be raised TO the throne, and Eu-
ropean intervention is said to be confidently
calculated upon to place him there and main
tain the authority of the crown. The MeXl-
cans in this quarter are said to be very hos
tile to this rumored movement, and to express
themselves as being ready to join with the
troops of the United States to prevent such a
contamination.
Prospects Of Business.-Two gentlemen,
merchants of Zacetecas, came passengers yes
terday on the steamer Tom Kirkman, bringing
with them t,co tons of SHcer, principally in
bars, from the mines of Zacetecas and Duran
go, received there in exchange for goods
! Other merchants from Saltillo, with one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, came passen-
gers on the same boat. A good portion of
this metal will doubtless find its way legiti-
mately into the pockets of our merchants,
which will be sensibly felt by all classes OF
people here.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1847-12-03

Gen. Tdylor.-The New Orleans Bee, of
the 22d inst, states that highly important
law suit will require the presence of General
Taylor in Mississippi on the first Monday (the
6th) OF December. There was, therefore, but
little doubt that he would reach New Orleans
during the last week OF this month.
The General, accompanied by Gen'l Wool,
left Monterey on the 9Th November. inspec-
ting the posts en- route, and had reached Mier
on the 18th, and was hourly expected at the
Brassos when the Edith left

atlanta Conuention.-We learn from a

Atlanta, Georgia, on the 23d inst, VIM. En-
zard, of Decatur county, was appointed Pre-
sident and J. S. Fay, of Savannah, and Col

was received from Gov. Crawford, in refer
ence to the charter granted by Tennessee to
the State of Georgia, in which this gentleman
advocated the constitutionalty of the measure.
The letter, with other matters, was referred to
