zrow. mEssns. luAMGUrr AND 1ERRIEN


In consequence Of rumors set afoa in Virginia tha.
U. S. Senators MAscuM Of N. Carolina, and BERRIEN,
of Georgia, had gone home from Washington with
the determination of supporting the Locofoco cand-
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, letters
were addressed TO them on the subject by the Hon j.
S. PENpLEroN, of Virginia. Mr.. MASeuM's reply
runs thus:
thank you for your prompt and confident den ial Of
the truth Of the rumor. aud am very sure you know
me TOO well 10 have fell that you hazaded anything IN
mailing the false and base coinage 10 the counter.
In truth, my dear sir, | cannot conceive OF any con
junction of circumstances, however monsrous, that
could have induced me 10 lend my supporl-ins'gni-
cant as ii s-to the elevation OF Gen. Cass to the Pre-
sidency lam in favor OF Gen. Taylor, not only with
zeal, but undoubting confidence.
And. mark me Notwithstanding the apparent
verse in North Carolina, (Which we in thai State per.
tectiy understand she will cast heavier majority IN
November for the Wing ticket than she has done since
lS32-possiby with the exception CT that Tor General
Harrison In lS4O
shall be obliged to you 10 deuounce the rumor
ferred 10 IN The manner you think most suitable, when
ever you meet If you shall deem II OF suihcient con-
sequence to spend upon ii so much breath
Mr. BFRRlEN's reply is as follows:
The report which you mention is so entirely and
absolutely unlounded and ridiculous that i. il had been
communicated 10 me by in whom had less con
fdence than you may justly claim from me, |
would hardly have deemed necessary TO contradict H.
As it is have TO say that whIle before the nomlna-
ton of Gen TAYLOR, my opinion OF what the Wing
party owed 10 ITSELF and TO The distinguished citizen
who had heretofore borne our banner, was freely ex
pressed did not hesitate acquiesco in that nomi-
nation. wrote Immediately TO the editors OF Wing
papers in Georgia, who had heretofore advocated the
claims of Mr. CLAY. 10 urge cordial support OF Gen.
TAYLOR and we'll verbally as in my correspondence
avowed my own determination to do so.
On my arrival at this place few days since found
invitations TO attend Taylor meetings, which have
accepted, and expect TO address very large mass
meeting Atlanta, in this State, he 18th instant.
add, in conclusion, that while cannot suppose
my opinions will be of any importance 10 my fellow
citizens OF Virginia. feel that have right to
rect a misrepresentation such as that which you
have called my attention. and therefore authorize you
10 say that my best exertions will be employed IN pro-
noting Gen. TAYLoR's election 10 the Presidency

fHILA DELPHlA, Jan. ~, 1910.
Bereavement Change Of Superintendent in the
Telegraph Ofice-Poison taken by mistake, &c.
The death Of Capt. John Butler, OF this city,
who about year since obtained commission
in the Third Regiment of Dragons, and raised
a company here, was announced this morning,
and has caused general expression of sorrow
He was brother OF Pierce Butler, Esq, OF this
cityyand connected with General Cadwallader's
family by marriage. He was expected to return
home on leave of absence, and some OF the female
members Of his family were about TO start on
tour to the South, In the expectation OF meeting
him.
A very abrupt change was yesterday made in the
Philadelphi telegraph station, by Mr. French,
the President of the New York, Philadelphia and
Washington company. Mr.. Beatty, the super
intendent, was dismissed without moments
warning, and without any cause being assigned,
much to the establishment OF those transacting
business with the office, who had formed SO
high an opinion Of his capacities and general
htness tor the post he occupied, that they could
scarcely believe that's better selection could be
made. His faithful services merited better
treatment from the company that received his
services tor months, without the slightest remu-
neration, when the enterprise was in its infancy.
His successor is Mr.. Park.
A girl Of the town, calling herself Jane Bacon,
last evening, swallowed preparation Of corro-
sive sublimatc, in mistake for gin. She was Ia
ken to the hospital, and doubts are expressed of
her recovery. She is believed TO belong to New
York, and was formerly tenant of the Bloom
ingdale Asylum
Considerable excitement is created in the
monetary circles to- day, by the announcement
Of the great error made IN the treasury report by
department. Seven millions is no small sum,
and il seems almost incredible that sue mis-
take should not have been detected at the first
glance. What have the members OF Congress
been about, that their lynx-eyes did not see

Very Late From Barbados.

The Captain of pilot boat No. 2, reached our
office at O'Clock this morning, announcing the
arrival of the packet bark Ann d. Richardson,
Capt. Sprall, with files from Barbados to De-
cember %.
BY the papers we learn that the West India
Bank had been compelled to suspend payment
for the want of specie to meet the demand.
Money was scarce and dear, and business had
downward tendency in consequence.
The drain of specie is alleged to !have been
produced by the anxiety to purchase American
produce.
No real apprehension was felt that the bank
would not eventually be able to meet its liabili-
ties

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE
CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 8, lS47.

Though distant, am not Indifferent to the
welfare of our country, and have watched with
deep interest the course of passing events in
in common with others, have believed that the
success of our army in the valley of Mexico, and
the conquest of the capital, would bring about a
peace. can assure you that the result v i'll dis.
appoint all such expsctations. A knowledge OF
the intentions and objects of the several parties
in Mexico is absolutely necessary to a correct
understanding of this great question.
have made myself familiar with the view of
the war party here, and you may rely upon it,
that they have but one object in continuing the
war, and that is annexation. So satisfied am |
of this, that have sent for my little family, and
look forward to eventually locating myself in
the country. Mexico is paradise, and requires
a little, only little, of Yankee energy and en-
terprise, to make 1t country great and pros
The foregoing extract is from letter addressed
by an officer of our army, in Mexico, to the Hon.
w. B. MaclAy, distinguished member of Con-
gress. The rank, position, and duties of the
writer have brought him into constant inter-
course with men Of property and standing in
Mexico, and have given him unusual facilities
for correctly ascertaining the temper and feeling
of those whose action must be most potential,
either in sustaining the war, or in arranging the
ultimate terms of peace. His opinions are not
the result OF hasty observation, but have been
maturely formed, and are no doubt correct If
the war party in Mexico is strong enough now
to defeat any peace projects not based upon an
nexation-and every days occupation of the
country by our army is adding to it's strength
we must submit to our &c manifest destiny" with
the best grace We can.
