Rumors from .Merico -!ScoH and Marcy The
Vera Cruz Plans Ex-senator Ashley
WASHINGTON, Sunday, April 80.
Mr.. Rich, bearer Of dispatches, arrived from
the City of Mexico last evening. He left Mexico
about three weeks ago. A quorum of Congress
was supposed TO be together, and there was little
doubt Of the ratification OF the treaty. As soon
as this treaty is ratified, and the first haul of the
money (Which we pay for indemnity y is got out
Of Uncle Sans pocket, Santa Anna will proba.
bly, return and kick up newfshindy for the re-
annexation Of the lost States. 1t is supposed
that thousands of the people of the City of Mex.
lco will follow our army when it leaves.
Gen. Scott is probably by this time at Vera
Cruz. If Marcy was only down among the gal
lant army who fought this campaign, he could
not borrow pen 10 write such an article as his
letter of April 81 against Gen. Scott.
BY the way, Murcy's long letter in reply to
Scott is in this mornings Union, filling some
eight or nine columns. By writing so much he
takes II for granted that people will think the re is
something IN it. HIS letter covers SO much
space III Mr.. Ritches organ that it would make
beautiful pattern for paper pair of inexpres
slbles. The letter is too extended to be called
a patch. II is manufactured out OF whole cloth
| have only time 70 notice one point III his let
ter. II we judge the rest by that we must have
a poor opinion OF the Secretary of Wars reply.
Mr.. Marcy is wishing to prevent Gen. Scott get
ting any credit for suggesting the plan by which
Vera Cruz became the base Of operations 10
reach the capital. lie says that by October %
1916, Vera Cruz was agretd upon as the base OF
operations. lie then proceeds: "lt~ was hence
contemplated here 10 strike at The Cuy of Mex.
co from The line occupied by Gen. Taylor OF
through any other ercept that from Vera Cruz"
On the 18th Of JANUARY, l647, Mr.. Benton
made speech in which he shows that in No.
venber 1916, the President asked his advice on
the wer. lie gave the President plan in writ
lng-that plan he says included no such folly as
an " attack upon the idle and solitary Castle o.
San Juan de Ulua." THIS plan was approved b,
the President and CaLimt. They wanted him t.
be appointed Lieut. General to carry his owl
plan out, without taking Vera Cruz in contemp
OF SCOTS and Taylors plans. Yet Mr.. Marcy sa y,
That no plan was eUer contemplated that did no
include Vera Cruz. Some one ofihese two gen
temen must belong to The "Society for til,
Elongation of TRUTH" (See Congressional Globe
ls467. Page 247.)
Enough, however, of Mr.. Marcy. He has de
prlved Gen. Scott of the command Of the army
lie is now trying TO diminish the brightness o
The campaign from Vera Cruz to Mexico. HI
will find himself mistaken in his pompous esti
mate Of his powers. Gen Scott is too deep
loved in the hearts Of the people to fear the has
and ungrateul attempts made 10 rob him OF HI
dine.

How DID GENERAL Pillow MAKE Col. Polk
PRrsrDENT? According to Mr.. Trist, az we are
told, the renowned General Pillow made It his
bost in Mexico. that he made Mr.. Polk President.
The public very naturally ask how when
where? The best solution of the mystery we
can give refers to the little statement IN the
Harrsburgh Union soon after the Baltimore
Convention had nominated Mr. Polk, about Mr.,
Polk Icing such an excellent tariff nan,--that
statement being made on the faith OF an alleged
declaration to that effect made at Baltimore, DUR
ing the session Of the Convention, by " a near
neighbor" of the Duck River candidate, who
protested TO understand all his sentiments and
knew hat he was friendly to the Tariff of 1922
| That statement secured to Mr.. Polk the vote
OF Pennsylvania, which made him PrcsIdent,-
The story is that the smear neighbor," who made
the declaration at Baltimore was Mr., now Cen,
Gideon Pillow; and if the story be true, Gen. P.
has perfect right to boast that he did make Mr.,
Polk PresldentI since nothing is more certain
than that Infamous deception elected Mr.. Polk
TO the office 10 which he was able to reward
friendship, and put mendaclty in epauets. 1t
was very well, doubtless, Tor Mr.. Pillow to boil
ster Mr.. Polk; and it was as natural for Mr.
Polk to put his Pillow in new case.-Philddei-

RAILROADS..

VERMONT CENTRAL.-The committee on the
subject of the line into this village have reported
in favor OF the South line, conditioned that all
trains other than freight and express trains shall
run regularly into tbs villa ge-that the portion
of The road between Mortified aud Montpelier
shall be commenced forthwith and completed
| without delay-and that the depot accommoda-
tions here shall be ample aud commodious as
any OH the line OF the road. This proposition
has been agreed to by the Directors; and we
trust the details Of the arrangement will be such
as are required by the interests and rights Of
all concerned. We think 1t high time to make
a permanent and irrevocable settlement OF this
question. 1t is a question preliminary 10 the o.
penng of the road to this polnt--an event, we
believe, which is of quite as much Importance 10
the company as to Montpelier and the surround
ing country. The Board by its action seems to
recognize the importance of this-our people
feel its importance this, therefore, is the time
for settlement Of it mutually satisfactory.
We refer the reader to the advertisement of
new stock in the Central Road. The time for
the payment Of assessments has been deferred
until the 10Th Of June and LIST of July

in Vermont was exhibited on the Central Road

Of the treaty, which was serious matter. The
bill also violated the armistice.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis of Miss proposed sub-
stitute, authorizing the President to send por>

and supply their places by new volunteers.
Mr., Crtteuden opposed both the bill and the
amendment. A bill to raise more volunteers
was already pending, lie advocated caution in
interfering with the affairs Of other countries -
lie was ready to go as far az any man in the
cause OF humanity, but thought we ought to
have regard for the lives and health Of our troops

WAsHINeToN, April 25th.-There is propo.
siton before the House to repeal the provision
of the volunteer bill of May 1916, which requires
that, at the close of the war, there shall be but
one Major General in the army. Under this pro-
vso, either Gen. Taylor or Gen. Scott must go
out of the army. Al the time when the act
passed, some resistance was made TO it by the
friends of Gen Scott, as It was supposed that he
Taylor be retained. But 1t seems now to be I'M
derstood that Gen. Tuy Tor will be put in the boat
Ii is also provided that but two BrIgadier Gener-
ais shall be retained in the service after the close
Of the war; Thus, Gen. Kearny may, notwith-
standing his brilliant services, 90 out ofthe army.

The Legislature of Michigan has passed an
act prohibiting the circulation, within six months
after the passage of the bill, of any bank note
or other evidence of debt issued by any banking
institution in a foreign country or province. The
act provides that any person offering to circulate
any such notes, shall forfeit three times their
nominal value. Incorporated companies taking
said notes, either at par or discount to forfeit
fifty collars The penalties in both cases to be
recovered with COSTS of suit in tie name of and
for the use of any person who shall sue for the
same. The act is intended to apply to Canada
bank notes, which now circulate largely in Mich
