PRESENT CONDITION OF THE ARMY,

The report ofthe Adjutant General, made
on the 9Th instant, contains some interesting
particulars respecting the condition ofthe ar
my. The actual force in service, including
Officers and privates, is 1881. The number
authorized is 16,99S.
The army in Mexico is estimated at S,473
regulars, and 1851 volunteers, Ofwhom 776
are on their way'to California.
The volunteers, employed in the war con-
sist of 81 regiments and two companies, of
which five regiments are cavalry, or fnsunt-
ed men, and twenty-five infantry, except a
,part of one battalion, of which two ofthe COM
rpanies are field artillery.
tOfthe above force, Gen. Taylor has under

Volunteering in Virginia.

We see it stated in all quarters that the
Polk party in Virginia tardily volunteer to
fill up the quota required from that State by
the late call for 5000 men. The following
upon tiais subject is from the Richmond Wing:
Extract OF u letter from the country,
81 know not how it is in other parts, but
hereabouts have not seen or heard ola Lo-
90 enisting for the Mexican War. They are
very boisterous in their Qualifications Of that
d.sgracefnl contest, and in their denuncati0ns
o all who question its wisdom or its policy
bat Judging by their actions, they seem TO
have no idea ofencountcrng its hazards aad
sharing its glories in person. Think they are
the men, however, whose peculiar duty it is
40 fight those battles. Their president orig
mated the war, without authority Of law or
constitution, when there was 10 necessity for
it-when national honor did not require it, s.
when every dictate of humanity and religion,
and every sentiment ofmagnanimity forbade
it. For Republic to wage war of plumber
and conquest-and that too against a feeble
and distracted neighbor!-let the va'or of
Polk and his rampant supporters fight it eut
Twill none ofit-for believe it a conflict
! in which no true honor is to be achieved and
Jno national good acquired"

Wrscoysru. The Constitutional Conven.

WISCONSIN. The Constitutional Conven-
ton has nearly concluded its labors. Among
its decisions is one extending the right ofsuf-
ifage TO all foreign born residents ofthe terri
tory, without obliging them TO swear allegi-
ance 10 the United States--a provision which
was carried by 81 to 30 votes. This provis-
ion, il is calculated, secures the State Govern
ment and both Congressman to the Locofo-
cos. A proposition making the aliens so
transformed into voters eligible to office, as
we'll entitled TO elect others, was promptly
reiected-ayes IL, noes 6S. So the aliens are
TO have the privilege of voting for their Loco
Foco hatterers, but not to be voted for in turn.
Their rOies arc wanted, but the offices can be
amply filled without them.-.M Y. Tribune

The SUB -TREAsURY.-GREAT INcoNvEN-
FENCE AT THE PosT OFFICE. The first
effects of the workings Of the monster were
extensively felt although in small way, at
the Post Office, this morning. Hundreds who
resorted there, with the usual coinage of the
city, such as Bank notes, and Spanish sixpen-
ces, shilling & twoshilling pieces, which are
the common coin in every persons pockets,
found that, with any or all OF this currency,
that is in universal circulation, they could not
obtain solitary letter from the office. A
large portion ofthe applicants had to go a.
way, without their letter, aud provide them
selves with American coin, so difficult to OBJ
tain. Every person appeared cross and i'll
natured, and some cursed the Post-office,
Government, and Sub-Treasury. The incon-
venience and perpleXity, however, have but
just begun; the multitude ofpoor people have
not felt its effects. The man of intelligence
and business habits can with comparative in
convenience procure his five cent pieces, but
the multitude are obliged TO take such curren-
cy us they are paid in, aud with it they cannot
get n letter. The workings the monster in
this smaller way, will be most annoying, and
will have more effect TO make the Sub-Preas-
ury unpopular with the masses than anything
else.

From Rev. d. Lane, KeosGuq'ta, Pan Buren,
Co. IOtUa.


MY second quarter for the present year is
closed. The weeks hive rapidly passed a
way, undiwith them many immortal spirits
have gone from the field of my labors, 10 try
the new scenes of eternity. Sickness here
has been very general; and in this place, and
in the several neighborhoods where am ac-
customed 10 preach, there have been some
forty deaths.
From the Rcu. "A, Montgomery, Beaver Dam.
Wisconsin.
The sickness which has been very severe
through the whole territory, has visited us
with full share of affliction. My family
have been all prostrated. There has been at
time six individuals in my family shaking
with the ague together The disease took
hard hold Of me, but am now recovering.
There have been but three deaths in the com
munity. This fall has been unlike all others
in the history ofour territory, for the univer-
sal prevalence of sickness. No village
might almost say no hamlet, has escaped.
There have been ague and fever, intermittents
ofall kinds, every where. Places which have
been regarded as favored above others in
healthiness oflocation have in many instances
most severely suffered. There is no exulting
Of one place above another. The providence
of God is very distinctly marked in the whole
history of our sufferngs.

Since this letter was laid before the Com
mittec, MIR Polk has been ''headcd" by the
House by it's action upon resolution. On
Saturday it was presented and those of his
party who were offended by the veto of the
Harbor Bill-nnd that too in spite towards
Mr. Polk-voted for it, together with the
friends objectionable Wings and the few
friends of Protection in the Polk party
This is pretty severe blow TO the admins
trntion-''headed," as has been, in one of
its favortc schemes. Though done in spirit
ofvengeance, soifar as most of the iocofoco
members had to do with it, we think it will
have the effect to lead the administration to
seek out measures for closing the war. AS
money-and Polk will have it--let him put
an adequate duty upon articles imported that
compete with our productions, rather than up
on the accessories oflife, and he can obtain it
without burdening the people so grievously
1t will be enough for the people to pay fifty
or one hundred millions of dollars, the conse-
quences of anneKing Texas, without being
taxed for the necessaries of life, and we are
glad to see that the Independent men of the
House took SO early stand against tho measure
ofthe Administration for taxing tea and coffee.

LOSS OF THE U. S. BRIG sOMERs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ~.
The bark Morgan Dix, arrived at New Or
leans, brings dates from the squadron off An
ton Lizardo to the 18th instant. Full partic-
uars have been received of the total wreck
ofthe United States brig Somers and the great
loss oflife which accompanied it. The Som
ers WINS maintaining the blockade offthe har-
hor of Vera Cruz. On the evening Of the 9Th
she had taken shelter under Green Island,
there being every indication or an approach
ing northerly gale. On the morning ofthe 9th,
a sail being reported from alof, she was got
under way and stood out for several miles,
when the approaching vessel was ascertain
ed to be the John Adams, on her return from
Tampico.
Her appearance caused great satisfaction
TO the officers of the Somers, as Com. Perry
had informed them that she was to relieve
them from maintaining the blockade us soon
as she came in. As the Somers was approach
ing her anchorage on her return, another sail
was discovered standing for Vera Cruz, APP
parently with the intention of running the
blockade. She Immediately made all sail to
intercept her, and in the effort to avoid falling
on the reef to her leeward, she was struck by
the Norther, and thrown upon her beam ends.
The strange vessel came rapidly down but
showed no colors, and tackled when near Pa
jordas reef Lieut.. Parker had reported the
appearance of squalls, and the particulars are
fully detailed in the New Orleans papers.
The Somers commenced careening over with
great rapidity and in about half an hour after
ward sunk.
The Norther continued until the 10th, and
fears are entertained for other vessels. A
letter received from on board the Raritan, da-
ted the 18th, states that eight men belonging
TO the Somers had been picked I'D by the
Mexicans on the beach near Anton Lizardo,
whittier they had been driven by the gale.
clinging to hen coops They were held at
Vera Cruz as prisoners ofwar; one had since
died. This makes ID saved out ofS0 souls on
board. The efforts ofthe crews ofthe French
and English vessels to save the lives of the
crew ofthe Somers, are spoken ofwith warm
commentator, The accounts of the wrecks
occupy three columns in the Picayune.
Eight more ofthe crew the Somers were
picked up by the British frigate Endymion.
