A communication was received from the
War Department, in answer to a resolution Of
the House calling for information in relation to
Gen Taylot's reply to Secretary Marcy's re.
buke for having written the letter to Gen.
Gaines, wherein Gen. T. speaks in no very
favorable terms Of the Administration in re-
gard to the war and the order for him to remove
his position from Corpus Christi. Gen. TAYLOR,
IN his reply to Secretary Marcy, says that he
would write again as he then did; that he was
aware OF the Administrators hostility, tut he
felt conscious Of the rcctitnde of his action
and had naught to fear. He asked no favor,
and would NOT shrink from any responsibility.

Notes from the LeCturing Field.
C. G. BURLEIGH.

%LFEsvILLE, July 10th, 1s4s.
My last l believe was written at Bundys-
burgh, from the house of our friend-the
friend of all, Mr.. Hatch. From there | went
to Pennington, where a meeting was appoint
ed at two o'clock and candle-lighl. | went
TO the Centre, but found no meeting
there. | turned again to the west part of the
town, where | met Caleb Green, who had
also been to the Centre, expecting a meeting.
He found the town house open, but the per-
son having charge busily engaged in closing
the shutters, and fastening down the win
dows. He was informed that Walker would
hold no meeting there. Our meetings at the
academy were well attended, and on the
whole satisfactory. In the afternoon a good
brother took the floor in opposition to the
pro-slavery character of the Constitution
He said he had been a "come-outer," but
had got over to Liberty party, and believed
the Constitution to be anti-slavery. | think
he left come-outerism too soon, for he avow-
ed that he had never read the Constitution,
nor would he vote for a man that believed
the Constitution to contain compromises with
slavery. OF course we showed him that he
could not vote for John p. Hale, nor if he
was honest belong TO the Liberty party
neither the one or the other believing that
instrument to be anti-slavery. He finally
thought he was more of a Liberty Lacquer,
than anything else.
Everywhere the Wings manifest a greal
deal of uneasiness in reference TO the nomi.
nation. A strong and widespread feeling
has taken hold upon the public mind, which
have no doubt has mainly been produced by
the faithful, untiripg abolitionists, and which
will hasten the day of the slaves redemp
ton. 1t is the same with many of the De
mocracy. Never was there a time when tn,
people listened so attentively to the mos
radical antl-slavery truth as now. All par
ties feel that something must be done.
At Pennington ! became acquainted will

they mustered for meeting there was a wag

or nearly SO, strong men and women. l staid

Interesting Trial.

A trial is now in progress in the United
States Court for this District, (Judge Mclean
presiding,) which is creating a good deal of
~interes, by reason Of its important relation to
the law relative 10 the re.capture Of runaway
slaves. The suit is brought against several
Of the most infu ential men Of Marshall, in
this State, for opposing the retaking Of seve-
raj fugitive slaves in that village during the
winter Of l647, by the authorized Agent Of
their own, a citizen of Kentucky. The op-
position is alleged to have resulted in the
flight Of the slaves from the village, and a
consequent loss Of their value, which is esti-
mated at $4,000. Suit is brought against
the defendants for the recovery Of this amount
in the name Of the owner. The principal
witness for the plaintiff was the person who
attempted the recovery of the slaves, and he
was kept upon the stand 20 hours.
The testimony for the plaintiff is yet pro-
crossing, and the trial bids fair 10 continue
for a week 10 come. Some Of our most emf
nent counsel have been detained by the de-
PENDANTS, while the prosecution is conducted
by Mr.. Pratt of Marshall, assisted by John
Norvell, Esq. U. S. District Attorney
This being the first time, if we mistake not,
that a question Of this kind has arisen within
the limits Of our State, the result is looked
forward to with a good deal of anxiety, es-
pecially by that portion OF the community
who are DESTROYS of rendering Just as small
an amount Of assistance to Shareholders who
come among US on such brands, as they pos
slbly can, without mourning the penalty OF
the law.-Detroit .2dc.

Congregational or Presbyterian minister, and
a pleasant discussion ensued till time for ad-
journment. In the evening it was resumed,
the minister bearing himself so courteously,
ard treating the subject so fairly, for a time,
that was very favorably impressed by him,
and felt much respect for him as an honest
and manly opponent; but before he finished,
he efiaced that impression by basely appeal
ing to the prejudices of his hearers, on the
subject OF Sabbath-keeping- subject to
which not the remotest a~llusion had or would
have been made by either of US. We admin.
istered, in reply, such a rebuke as his conduct
seemed to merit, and this provoked him to
reveal yet more fully, the pricstly spirit, and
before the meeting separated, | think the au-
dience generally saw him in his true aspect,
and stlmate at their real worth his attempts
to misrepresent us and prejudice them against
our cause. A Wesleyan preacher who was
Present, spoke briefly after we had finished,
and incidentally rebuked the bigotry and un-
fairness of the priest-saying that while he
differed from us on some points Of theology,
he would never let such differences prevent
his laboring heart and hand with us or any
man in so holy a work as the deliveranc of
our enslaved brethren.
On the llth and 18th we were in Akron,
and met a goodly number Of the people three
times the first day and twice the second, in a
large low hall prepared with seats of loose,
rough boards-none of the churches being
opened to US. Anti-Slavery claimed the most
of our attention, but Peace had also a share
Of it, and the relation of the Government and
the Church to slavery and war was plainly
pointed out, the duty, as it appears to US, of
those connected with either, was shown, as
well as how it can and should be done.-
Here as elsewhere, the question was urged
upon us, and answered to our best ability,
- what can we do without the ballot-box?"
We tried to show that the very thing which
needs to be done, without which the evils
we assail can never be abolished, viz: the
changing of the nations public sentiment,
cannot be done by ballot-box action, out must
precede any effective use Of the ballot-box,
even if that ever can or need be used effec-
lively; and must be accomplished by moral
suasion, to which a consistent refusal to swear
allegiance TO a government sustaining the
evils we seek to remove, will be a very i'm
portant help.
From Akron we nave come to this place,
where we find no house but that which God
built, open for our assembling with the peo-
pie. We are to spend here this day and to-
morrow. But enough for now | have made
my letter much longer than l intended, but
have not time now to revise and abridge it.

"Have we heard of our hunting, DER noun

Much excitement prevails here at present,
in consequence Of several %"slave hunts"
that have recently taken place in the adjoin-

a boy, who was very imprudently sent back

This occurred on the Ohio side the compa-

Neat and comfortable boarding houses
will be furnished at a low rent also, good
dwelling houses to families who can supply
four effective hands from their own domestic
circle, or who will take that number as
boarders. The rates Of boarding will be
low, and will be fixed by the Company.
The above named houses, therefore, must
not be regarded as sources for making mon
ey, but as aflording excellent situations for
widow ladies who are in INDECENT circum-
stances, and who have children to lear and
educate, such having the advantage of COM
petent instructors free Of charge Instances
have occurred in which families have avail
ed themselves of similar circumstances to
procure the rudimcnts of education for their
boys, while through the industry of the sis
ters, they were afterwards enabled to obtain
collegiate education, thus fitting them for
occupying the highest positions in society.
1t is the object of the Company to benefit
the State by giving employment to deser-
wing and industrious poor, but, as it is also
| a primary object TO obtain interest for the
| capital expended in the erection of these
works, they will not permit their houses TO
be occupied by any who cannot or will not
render themselves useful. They wish it to
be distinctly understood that Granitevilc is
not place Of refuge for those who arc inca
pacltatcd from any cause for obtaining their
living by industry.
They would also state that the matrons
alluded to must be such persons as from
their education and stand will exert proper
influence in the mental and moral culture
of the females under their care.
1t is hoped and earnestly requested, that
all who feel an interest in the progress of
anufactures in our State, in the welfare of
the poor, and such as have knowledge of
this institution and the persons who are en-
gagged in this enterprise, will use their best
efforts to circulate the contents of this cir.
cular; that the minds of all, who ought to
engage with US, may be directed to Granite
VILE, where a comfortable home and the
means Of educating their childred may be
secured. All communications on the sub
ject must be addressed to Mr. GEORGE

Unfortunate.

Weregret to learn, that Richard Watson,
one of the gallant soldiers of the Forlorn
Hope at the storming of Chapultepec, has
met with serious accident. He had re-
covered sufficiently from his wounds, to
walk about without much Inconvenience to
himself, and in riding out last week, his
horse ran away with the buggy throwing
him out upon his wounded leg, which has
injured it very much indeed. He informed
us that the sufferings he experienced from
his wounds was nothing in comparison to
this.

Foreign News.

The arrival of The Hibernia at Boston
gives dates from Liverpool up to the Goth
nit. The demand for cotton was good, and
there had been an advance of I'D. on the
lower and middiing qua lities of Uplands.
There was, at the sailing of the steamer, a
general appearance of improvement in the
money market, money was more abundant
and the influx of specie large. The news
ls regarded in every way as favorable, and
we see no reason now why cotton should
not advance rapidly.

Important from Mexico.

BY the N. 0. Picayune of the 18th inst,
we have news from Mexico, brought out
by the steamship New Orleans, which is of
the utmost importance, if true. The fol-
lowing are the remarks of the Picayune:
"Mr. Freaner arrived at Vera Cruz on
Sunday the 9th inst, bearing dispatches
from Gen. Scott for the Government at
Washington. He was only four days
from the city of Mexico. He sailed the 7th
instant on board the q. S. steamer Iris, for
Mobile. The New Orleans was detained
two days to give the Iris time to get in a
head-why, is scarcely known. She over
took the Iris, however, and passed her be-
fore she reached the Balize. The despatch
es brought by Mr. Freancr are Of the ut
most importance. The nature ofthcm was
not generally known at Vera Cruz, but
from source in which we have abiding
confidence, we learn, that the Mexican
Congress has sent in terms of peace. which
Gen. Scott has taken the responsibility Of
accepting. One of the articles of this ar
rangement is, that twelve thousand United
States troops shall remain in Mexico until
certain obligations are fulflled-the re-
mainder to be Withdrawal
"We learn further, that the preIminarie
oft treaty Of peace were signed on the
first day of February by the Mexican Go
vernment, and that no doubt was entertain
ed that the Mexican Congress, which was
to meet in few days, would ratify the same
by large majority. BY the terms of this
treaty. we understand, that the United
States obtain the boundary of the Rio
Grande, New Mexico and Upper Califor.
mia. The pecuniary considerations for
these concessions is mere trihe compared
with that proposed in the conferences at
Tacubaya.s
"Orizaba was captured on the 26th ult.
One OF the purposes of the expedition was
to capture Santa Anna at Tacubaya. The
wiley Mexican, however, effected his es-
cape through the treachery of one of his
countrymen."

Affnirs at Washington


it seems that the rumors of peace had died
away and all parties had settled down in
the belief that they were false. We pre-
sumo however that when the bearer of de-
spatches from General Scott reaches there,
those rumors will again be revived with
more of the semblance of truth. There is
no doubt that the President and the mao-
rity in Congress are anxious for peace, al
though it appears to be the opinion there, that
a treaty cannot be made,o or if so that it will
be done very soon. Judging from the as
pect of things in Congress, if treaty of
peace is not effected in less than a month,
some step will be taken to put stop to the
war, either by adopting Mr. Calhoun's poll
cy, or some similar one. We believe that
the Wings and part of the Democrats will
unite in this course. And that the President
and the majority of the Democrats will 60
for the total subjugation of Mexico, and her
ultimate annexation to the United States.
The letter of MIR. Dallas to the war meet
ing lately held at New York, the toast of
Secretary Walker, the speech of Mr. Sewer
Chairman Of Foreign Relations in the
Senate, the resolution Of Mr.. Dickinson and
those of MIR. Hennegan all go to shew this.
The Presidential election is still the lead
ing topic at Washington and the source of
much caucusing and intriguing, Cass,
Buchanan, Dallas, and Woodbury., are all
spoken of by the Democrats, but of these
the most prominent is Cass and Buchanan.
1t is matter of doubt, we take it, whether
any of these gentlemen can be brought for
ward so as to unite the North and the South.
For the North is still fixed in her determina-
ton to exclude slavery from any territory
we may acquire from Mexico, and the
South equally as firm in maintaining her
rights.
The friends of General Taylor and Mr..
Clay have not decided which of the two
will be their choice for the Whig candidate,
but we think it clear that the old General
will be the man.
tits apparent from the reports and speech
es made in Congress, that the finances are
in bad condition. and new source of re-
venue must be provided if the war is con.
tinued. 1t is very clear that the Wings
and a portion Of the Democrats will refuse
to tax tea and coffee, or to levy any tax on
the States, and their reason for this course
doubtless is that in the failure of these
measures the Tariff may be raised. If
their views should prevail then again have
VIC 10 fight the battles of free trade.
