The Palmetto Regiment.

We copy the following card from Mr. Burt, member
OF the House of Representatives from South Carolina
We hesitate not to accompany it with the remark that
we have doubt the President would be happy to recall
the regiment from South Carolina as well as some Others
from other States if the passage of the ten regiment bill
would enable the department dispense with their ser.
vices in Mexico. General Cass assigned this as one Of
the reasons for passing that BILL
The force in Mexico is deemed too small already II
considered by the department. and it has urged the
strongest recommendations for its immediate augmenta.
ton The most distinguished officers from Gen SCOTS
column OF the army make secret of their own opinions
and do not hesitate to declare, the result of their ex
perience, that prompt supply OF and money would
secure us an honorable peace at an early day.
Besides, if single regiment of volunteers were recall
ed, however reduced in its numbers it would be mpos
sibe for the government to stop there. The recall OF
other regiments nearly much reduced, would be urged
the government, and thus force would be great,
reduced before any have been provided by Con-
gress to replace or increase it.
Perhaps it may not be improper to remark that
the application for the discharge of the Palmetto reg-
ment is made from home, and not from the reri-
nen itself 1t does not appear that single officer or
has expressed to the government desire to be re-
called We state this fact not only compliment Just
y due to our gallant volunteers but as an evidence of
their opinion-suated, they arc, the theatre of
action, with the whole field before them-that they can
not very well be spared without detrment to the
public service
DEAR Frequent inquiries, by letters from South Caro-
ua having been made of me whether the gallant remnant
Of noble regiment will receive their discharge from ser
vice in Mexico, but little than the in gloriou
duty garrison, which their glorious
in battle have proudly earned, beg express through
your columns, that there is immediate hope of such
gratifying event.
The subject has been urged with all becoming
upon the President He admits he has the power
grant the discharge but does deem exercise
time, compatible with the public interest.

President could and he would be bound by their
