New MILITARY PosTs.-We learn, says the
p O. Picdyune, that Gen. Brooke has received
orders from the Wal Department to proceed to
the waters of the Upper Mississippi, and es-
tablish two posts 10 the Indian country; one at
the mouth of Crow-Wipg -iver, and the other
some distance up thst stFeam. One posts to
be garrisoned By company Of infantry and
the other BY a company of the lst dragoons.--
These posts will be situated in country where
the Chippewas, the Sioux, and the Winneba-
COS are living side by side, which circumstan-
ces doubtless suggested their establishment.

Henry A. Wise, now Locofoco candidate for
elector iR Virginia: -.
believe that Lewis Cass, Secretary of War,
was engaged in specializing in the public lands
while Secretary of War; that he made eXhorb-
liant allowances to favorites; paid one for
services never performed; another after he had
full knowledge that the favorte had forged his
official signature; permitted commissions I'M
der him to be antedated, and has ordered a
| treasury warrant 10 be paid TO the assignee OF
a discussing officer who had gambled it away
after ii had been protested by deposit bank,
and was countermanded by the Secretary of the
Treasury, and TO have been guilty of several
other acts of violation of duty
The proof that Lewis Cass, whilst Secretary
of War, did get up company for land specu-
laIion aud land monopoly is full and perfect.
Even the locofoco editors, audacious as they
are, do not deny the fact. Not one OF them
all daresdeny it. The editor of the ST. Louis Re-
publican and his correspondent, who is vouch-
ed for as gentleman of high standing and res
probability, say that the speculation was in
mineral lands-thatit was IN lands, the manage
ment, leasing, sale, &c. of which were confid-
ed by the Government to Cass as Secretary OF
War, he having the appointment ofthe agents
being the first to receive their reports, posses
sing of course the best possible means of know
i ing the most valuable tracts, and armed with
full power 10 prevent the discoverer of mine
from entering it and to take possession Oft
himself. Now we confidently appeal 10 al
honest men, to all whose hearts are not so fal
sunk in political and moral depravity and cor
ruption that they can see no distinction be
tween right and wrong, TO say whether Sec
rotary of War, thus prostituting the high pre-
negatives of his station for the promotion o.
his own selfish and mercenary designs, does
not deserve nations deep scorn and universal
execration instead of nations suffrages FOL
the Presidency!
We doubt whether this official turpitlide has
any parallel in the country's history.

TUNE" Old Dan Tucker"


Wake up boys Santa Annals coming,
Dan't you hear the rascals drumming,
Up the motto of our commander,
s death before retreat or surrender.
Where's Old lack, the brave old Spartan
Where's Old lack, the brave old Spartan
Where's Old lack, the brave old Spartan
When he leads the vict'ry's certain.
When Santa Anna, kind and tender,
Said "Old lack you'd best surrender
Avoid bloodshed-we can disarm you,
But we're not disposed to harm you.
Where's Old lack, &C.
Old lack piled to Santa Anna,
'Here's old Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois and Mississippi
Dang my old coat if can't whip We.
That's Old lack, &c.
The day was dark-the battle bloody;
There stood calm Old Rough and Ready
If any corps feared being routed,
Anxiously each soldier shouted
Where's Old lack, &C.
That day Old lack whipped Santa Anna
Vict'ry perched upon our banner;
And as the Mexicans did scatter,
Their cry was heard above the CHATTER.
There's Old Zack," sc.
The Office holding federal clan,
Are trying now by every plan,
To raise an army well equipped,
And one they think cannot be whipped
But where's Old lack, &c.
Cass has don'd his black cockade,
And musters them with great parade,
But if they hear some distant firing,
In tones subdped they're all requiring.
~ Where's Old lack" &C.
Cass's reg'lars are pack
OF office holkers fat and slick,
Together bound by public plumber.
And if they fight we should not wonder.
"But where's Old Zack," sc.
But see Old lack cool, firm and steady,
A little rough but always ready,
The volunteers around him gather,
To fight for him as for father.
There's Old lack, &c:
| II he and Cass meet in November,
Twill be day wei all remember;
Cass's reglars whipped and flying,
Will be heard in terror crying.
There's Old Zack,' &c.
Old Zacharys legs are short and slender,
He cannot run and won't surrender;
And Cass had better break his blade,
And lay aside his black cockade.
For here's Old Jack, the brave old Spartan
! For here's Old Zach, the brave old Spartir
For here's Old lack. the brave old Spartir
! When he leads the vict'ry's certain.
