Much has been said, says the Trumbull
Democrat, about the honesty Of the Qua
kers, and their not voting for Gen. Taylor
on the score Of his being Shareholder and
an officer in the Mexican War. The fol.
lowing anecdote from the Pittsburgh Jour-
nal, (teaeral paper) illustrates their relia-
bility to Federalism, their honesty or pro-
LESSONS to the contrary notwithstanding,

FrandS uD0n the Treasury.

How consistent are certain federal hacks
in charging the administration with bank
rupting the Treasury by the Mexican war,
and then plundering it as much as they
could by bills of extra mileage! Promi-
nent among such partizans are three fed
eral members Of Congress, CroaoeN, Dun-
can and EdaUards, all from Ohio.
Crowell, living al Warren, charged $50
miles more, and pocke,ed 1856 more cash
than he was entitled to.
Duncan, living in Newark, charged 1916
miles and pocketed $50 more cash than
he was entitled to.
Edwards, living in Lancaster, charged
655 miles and pocketed $263 more cash
than he was entitled to.

RICH MINES IN TEXAS.

We learn, says the Corpus Christi Star,
from one Of the traders who recently ar
rived from beyond Loredo, that mining
company with capital of 100000 were
making arrangements 10 work the mine
between that place and Monclova, and
that some of the machinery had already
arrived. The mine is said to be very
rich one, and has not been worked since
the expulsion Of the Spaniards-we pre-
sumo owing to its proximity TO tho Indian
ranges. For years mnny Of the poorer
people have washed out the metal in small
parcels, and more than 10000 thus pro-
cured has been brought to Corpus Christi,
in exchange Tor goods. Now that the In.
dians will be kept in check by our soldiers,
the company will pursue lis labors unin-
terrupted, and we wish them success, not
only for their own good, but for the bene-
fit it must be to Corpus Christi Clncan.

The whole vote inethe county is % less than

mostly, if not entirely cast for the fFfree

for the regular nominees of the party, we
should have had a majority over the two
other parties combined. But the result in
this county is extremely gratifying. The
townships generally rolled up larger major
