THE BUTLER FAMILY.

l was at the house of Gen. Finley, where,
during the years resided in Chillicothe,
often visited daily, Gen. Finley spoke in the
presence Of hts family, of the Buffers in very
warm, friendly terms. The father, he said,
was man of fine mathematical and mechan-
zeal talent and Gen. Washington had placed
nm as superintendent of public arms. The
flve sons served through the Revolutionary
war, with great distinction as company and
field officers and possessed the entire conf
dence of Gen. Washington; as an evidence of
which he gave the following short Narrative
After the Revolutionary war was over.
General Washington being President, in Phi.
ladelphia, the seat of Government al that
time, Gen. (then Major) Finley visited the
city on business. Other revolutionary officers
were there, at the same time They were
invited TO dine with the President Cen
Washington on that occasion, in company
with his old military companions, seemed to
relax much more than usual-generally ap-
pearing grave and reserved as is well known
He spoke of the war and lis inciden,s-,he
officers and their particular merits He spoke
of the Buffers in decided terms of approba.
tion and friendship. After the cloth was re-
moved, and they had filled their glasses, as
was the custom of that day, he gave the fol-
lowing toast-The Butler family, the father
and the five sons-a truly estimable compli-
ment, coming from such man, and one who
very rarely complimented any one, and nerer
unless the individual possessed extraordinary
merit
Several of the members of the ercellent
family of Gen. Finley are still living.
He, for many years, has been enjoying his
rerdrd in better corld. A. HAYS.

s,,ll carried on with undated imcapabiliiy
against Denmark.
No further conflict has taken place between
the contending parties, each rapidly preparing
for general engagement. The Danes. are
awaiting a Swedish reinforcement. The En-
glish government has been informed that the
mouth of the Ebe, the Weser, or any other
mort of the North Sea, will not for the present
be blockaded, and that the blockade of Pill.u,
Dauzic. Stefun, Rostok, and WisInor will cease
on the 18th inst.
IRELAND.
There is nothing worthy of particular notice
from Ireland. The Dublin correspondent of
the Daily News says II is slated thai Messrs.
Smith O'Brien and Meaghvr will be tried and
sentenced a second time, In the after sitings OF
next term This resolution has been arrived
at in consequence of the very small minorities
which procured the discharge of tie juries on
both sides.
The Ventoque Marso, of Milan, on the 18th,
gives letter from Venice of the llth, announ-
cling that an es;affeie, arrived on that day,
brought the news of serious encounter that
had taken place near Eonuba and Melenetto,
between the Austrlans on the one side and
the corps of Durando and Ferrara on the 9TH
er.
The Austrians lost 500 prisioners-400 dead
or wounded. Subsequently, the main body,
5000 strong. was blocked up in the vicinity,
and ii was expected they would lay down their
arms. The Venice Gazette confirms the fact,
and adds that the battle was fought in the i'm
mediate vicinity OF Souzane, four miles from
Seltere. This victory renders an attack on
Treviso impossible.
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A communication from Cuxhaven states that
Lubec vessels are to be exempt from the en-

COPENHAGEN, May l6.-The number of ves-

papers.

CANDIDATE CAss AND New YoRK.-The En-.
Post Of the lst contains an address from the
Barnburner Delegation to their constituents,
on the subject of the recent nominations at
Baltimore, which after detailed history of the
entire proceedings;arrves at the conclusion that
The Democracy of this state New York; are
thrown backupon the alternative of either hav
ing no regular candidate, or of nominating for
themselves though their own legitimate state
organization" They, therefore, recommend
that convention shall be held at Utica on the
22nd instant, for the purpose OF receiving the
report of the regular Democratic Delegates to
the National Convention, and expressing their
sentiments in regard to the action of that body
Excluding New York from participation in its
proceedings, and for recommending candidates
for the Offices of President and Vice President,
subject TO the decision of the state Convention
regularly called for the 18th of September, or to
take such other action relating thereto as many
seem desira Bile.
In the course Of leader on the subject, the
Post has the following comments:
The Democrats of New York regard the nom.
/ nation of democratic candidate for the Pres
dency of the United States as not yet made
in this state of things they will do the best
they can, they will exercise their best discre-
lion in the selection of man whom they Can
support, and they will oppose the spurious
nomination attempted to be fastened on them
by truhcaed and packed convention, until
he presidential electors of the State shall ha
been chosen. The people will then have sig.
nifed their will in this matter; we shall then
see where the majority lies, and the contest
will be al an end.
"a vote has been obtained in very thin
meeting of the Democratic General COnyen-
lion of this city in favor of the nomination Of
Gen. Cass. If there had been full meeting.
we learn that the nomination would have been
directly repndated. Even if the meeting were
d full one, the proceedings of that committee
are of no consequence. There are generally
office holders and office seekers and plant
tools enough, In It's composition 10 deprive
such expressions of its opinion of any tale TO
| respect. We ourselves ave been formally
accommodated and anathametised by that
committee, without finding standing with
The party at all effected BY il. The eXCOmmu.
| nication pronounced some ten years ago, is we
believe, in full force yet. We are sure that
we never felt anything but quiet contempt
| for it.
The General Committee have no authority
] to make nomination for the Presidency, as
they will soon see, if they do not begin to un-
derstand ii already"

Dear Sir:-Since my connection with the
Wabash and Erie Canal, have devoted some
attention TO the subject of the trade and com
merce of the Wabash Valley, for which this
Canal forms in part the channel of transporta-
ton. Through the assistance of gentlemen
connected with the produce business residing
al the various towns on the Wabash, flor
whose polite attention | wish here TO express
my thanks,) have been furnished with an ac-
curate statement of the shipments south by the
Wabash River, of all leading articles of pro-
duce, during the shipping season of l847.-
From the reports OF the collectors, have, in
like manner ga thered the shipments of produce
north BY the canal during the same year. Be-
lieving that condensed statistical view of this
subject, showing the amount of shipments
from various points, the aggregate value ofex-
ports of the Wabash Valley, together with the
proportion shipped BY the canal and by the
river. would be interesting to you, have pre-
pared the following statement:

few days ago, has thrown the Democrat and it's

about the matter, and says-it could remark

we supposed were necessary. We have no
doubt but the Democrat can string any quaint
ty of words together, and every one denying
Cass wasa Federalist, but that won't 60 very
far in disproving the authority we quote above.
