LECTURES on EUROPE Ky Dr. BAIRD
We have the pleasure of announcing that Dr
Baird will commence his lectures at the Congre.
gational Church ON Tuesday evening next, and
the subject Of his first lecture will be the Russian
Empire.
DIR Baird has prepared, Mt great expense,
large maps of every country in Europe, and Of
every principal city in it. lie has also speei.
mems Of the peculiar dresses and costumes worn
by the nations ordinarily and upon ceremoneous
occasions.
1t will be readily perceived that by these
means he will be able to make the lectures very
interesting and instructive.
The expense of procuring his maps-flIing
several large boxes-of transporting them, and
his own travelling expenses, render necessary
small charge. The charge for the coore of
eight lectures, as we are informed, will be 6 ! 90.
Scholars attending the various schools half price
Single lectures twenty-five cents.
The character of these lectures abroad, and
Introductory lecture delivered, strongly recon-
mend them to the favor and patronage of our
citizens.

No farther progress has been made in the con
test between the Government forces and the in
surgcnts under Paredes.
Both armies were suffering in consequence Of
inadequate supplies of provisions.

The latter was defeated, and Bustamcntc enter

GENERAL TAYLoR-ASoTHER LETTER
SLAvERY-Some months ago story was start
ed by somebody, to the effect that General Tay-
lor was the owner of large tract of land loca-
ted between the Nueces and the Rio Grande
(the late disputed territory between Mexico and
Texas), and that he sent an agent to Washing
ton with $4,000 for the purchase of Slaves with
which TO stock the farm. Col Mitchell of Gin.
cinnati having addressed the General on the
subject, he replies as follows;
BATON ROUGE, La, July IA, 1S4S.
My DEAR CoLoNEL: Your kind letter of
the 18th ult has heen duly received IN reply
to your inquiries, / have to inform you that
have no land on the Rio Grande; nor have
sent $4,000 or any other sum to the District OF
Columbia to purchase slaves; and trust that If
had such a sum in my possession could put it
to better use than buying lands on the Rio
Grande, or slaves in Washington. Among the
many accusations brought against me by my OPP
ponents should be much gratifed 10 learn that
they had succeeded in substantiating the charge
that have in my possession so large sum for
any purpose as the one above mentioned.
/ beg that you will not put yourself to any
trouble to meet the objections urged against me
by those opposed to me, if they are as groundlesl
as the one in question: for when they see fit thu,
to disregard the obligations of truth, it is useless
to contend with them.
With my best wishes for your health and sue
cess, remain, sir, very respectfully, your ODE
dent servant u. TAYLOR.

THE CosT OF GLoRY.-The whole number
of Americans that were killed in the recent war,
including the line of the Rio Grande and that of
Vera Cruz, is estimated at 1000, and the wound
ed at 1000. 1t is impossible to say how many of
the latter have died in consequence of their
wounds, but VIC should suppose not less than
one-fourth say 1000, making in all 5000 deaths
from battle. This, however, bears but small
proportion to the number who have sunk under
disease. On the left flank of the Castle of Pc
rote, there are the graves of 2G0O Americans, all
victims of disease. A still larger number per-
ished at the Capital; the deaths there for con-
siderable time were one thousand monthly, and
at no time did they fall below to 400.
