AN IMPORTANT ERROR CoRREcTED-Our attention

In the letter from Gen. Taylor to Hon. George Il.
Dunn. it occurs in the following paragraph
"On reference to the records of official papers IN
the Office Of my Adjutant General, find no evidence
that the proceedings Of the Court Of Inquiry, insti
tuted at the request of Gen. Lane were sent TO me-
To the best Of my recollection they certainly not
In the absence of Major Bliss, my Adjutant General
l cannot speak more positively. The order cOnstl-
tuting the Court issued by Gen. Wool, and it
originated at his Head Quarters Its proceedings, he
probably conceived not necessary TO be sent TO me-
His course However, in ordering the court was OPP
posed by me-"
The third word from the last, opposed" is wrong.
1t should be "0pprOred by me-" critical reader
would see the error from the context but the more
careless might not detect it and thus be mised.
Editors who have published the letter referred TO-,
are respectfully requested to make the correction

We cheerfully comply with the request of our
neighbor, by giving publicity to the above; but we
are at loss TO perceive what benefit Gen. Taylor is
to receive from such correction. Instead Of mod-
flying Gen. Taylors hostile position in relation the
lndanians, it only shows that he is more disposed to
do what he considers would njure them. Gen. Tay-
lOr in his letter, takes the position that the agitation
of the subject would result in great inury'to the I'd
regiment and its State-that the Court of Inquiry
Of that
inexpedient, and connected with the good of the
ser,ice-and then says that he GPPrOred of General
Wool's course in ordering the Court of Inquiry.
Thus it appears that he considered that agitation
would injure the Indlanans; but still be disposed
to approve of ordering Court of Inquiry that would
have the effect to agitate the whole subject anew, and
according to his showing, inure our State.

North and Of the South Of these United

of the North has puritan morality FORTS gov

GERS. In illustration Of these diverse laws al
iedga the speech of Mr.. CoLLAMER Of Yer

Congress Of the United States (See National
1htelligencer, Feb. Sd, ls4s.) Speaking on
The Mexican War, he SCALED upen all who
loved right, and loved aheir country, to de-
nouncc and renounce train of measures so
mons,rous. He called upon all who had any
regard for justice or fear Of God, rho ,oas
its Hring embodiment, to joi" their efforts
to wipe this foul stain from the hitherto
Gair a,smc Of our country"
AsAnoHser reason which is assigned why

should incur national disgrace and national
dishonor. do no. profess to be quite as

remark thathe aeser knew person appeal to

for the remark, and my idea is, that what

Mr.. JONES Of Georgia, National In,elli-
gencer, January god, 1S4s,) speaking on the
same subject, expresses himself thus: ''1'o be

Governor of Maryland, for his efforts to re-
lieve the State from her difficulties, asks the

The members OF the Charles County Ag-
gricultural Society, and all others friendly
to the institution, will bear in mind that an
adjourned meeting of the Society will be
held on WEDNESDAY, the 23d of this month.
The election Of officers is to be attended to
at this meeting. At the same time returns
will be made by those gentlemen who have
been requested to solicit signatures to the
Constitution. Every exerlion should be
made to procure such list as will ensure
success in carrying out the objects and in
tentioas of those who have ''put this ball in
motion - and it is hoped that our citizens
generally will promptly respond by lending
their aid for that purpose.
II is pleasing to observe that the provi-
sions Of the Constitution of our Society
has received the approval of that lively, in
teresting, and practical writer, "Paturent
Planter" In the American Farmer for this
month, he speaks ''like book" of that in
strument, and recommends that certain parts
of it be engrafted into those of other agri-
cultural societies. We fully agree with the
writer on this subject.
Having heretofore endeavored to poin.
out the utility Of Agricultural Societies, we
will refrain from any remarks Of our own at
present, and offer those of contemporary
These societies exer. the most healthful
and beneficial influence wherever they have
been formed. They produce mos. whole
some spirit of rivalry among the tilIers of
the soil, inducing them to devote portion
Of their lands 10 experiment and improve
ment; and, as natural consequence, the
importance of the farmers life becomes more
generally known and respected. Their du-
ties are better appreciated, and as knowledge
upon the great interests of agriculture is
disseminated among the people, it creates e
tendency to place farmers in the position
which is by right theirs and theirs alone
Agricultural societies should be formed in
every district. No matter if no more than
half dozen can be induced to make be-
ginning-go ahead-there mus, be COM

Nj. RrvEs AND Ma. FILLMoRE.-Mr. RrvEJ, of
Virginia, the friend and supporter OF Gen. Jackson, in
a bate speech at Richmond, bore the following testi-
mony in favor of Mr. FILLMORE. We wonder ifthere
is any one prepared TO assert that Mr.. RrvEs is in fea-
vorufabolition, or would support an Abolitionist for
the high office ofVice President OF the United States.
Mr.. r. said he knew Mr.. Fillmore, and that
he was proud to acknowledge MIR. Fillmore
was the artifcer of his own fortunes.-His
noble friend Scott, (Gen. Scott,) has told him
that he remembered seeing young Fillmore
almost a pauper boy in Buffalo. He had risen
entirely by his own e~xertion, and had a petent
nobility from nature. MI. R. was glad 10 no.
nor audd 10 homage to such a man. A man of
more modesty, ard equsnimity, and whose face

to the constitution, we might despair of ever
finding any man north ofMason's and Dixon's
line who was.

governed by the municipal law of that
country, which will exist in power over
them until abolished by acts of Congress.
The Mexican law prohibits slavery. Mr.

create or destroy those institutions in the
