AN INQUIRY AND A DISCLAIMER.

The editor Of the National Intelligenccr the lead.
ing paper OF the Wing party, and the probable organ
Of The administration just coming into power, has
announced that, in The present state ofthings "nethe,
California nor New Mexico nor the boundary Of
the Rio Grandc, be longs to the United States"
But 1t was no expected that the wary editor
Of the Intelgencer, occupying the sponsiblc posi-
ton which he doe towards the incoming admins
tration would at the outset be betrayed into such
hsgrant act Of hostility to the United States, upon
so shallow a prctext.- Wash. Union, Feb g.
We respectfully inquire Of the Union,
whether il has any authority for assigning
to the hieHigenccr the official relation tc
to the incoming administration, which the
above quoted paragraphs would appear tc
indicate We PROFOUND the inquiry in good
faith and with a sincere desire for an answer
if it shall see fit to reply, for we consider il
to be an act Of serious injustice to the new
administration, on the part Of the Union, to
make PREslDEET TAYLOR responsible fol
the opinions Of the Iatcifgencw or Of any
other journal upon questions Of public policy,
unlcss,it hnons chat the MtciKgencer, or such
other journal is authorised 20 speak his SEN
timents thereupon. We venture to assert,
in advance Of the Enion's reply, that, not
only does the Mieiiigencer not occupy the
position thus assigned to it, but that no other
journal in tbe United States stands in such
official relation TO tie President elect, and
in making, this disclaimer for the Intelligent
Ger, we are persuaded, we are doing no more
than justice to the true position Of that journal

ERRATUM.

In our article Of yesterday, upon the Ma
tional Inauguration Ball, we were made to
say, that the German hand Of Philadelphia,
had been engaged for the occasion. This
is typographical error 1t should have
been the GERMANIA BAND, a name by which
it is known throughout Europe and the Uni
ted States.

The WeSSage.

To the exclusion of our usual variety,
we this morning present our readers with
the first Annual Message of President
Taylor, which was delivered to Congress
on Monday last. We received it yester-
day morning about 10 o'clock, after most
of the articles prepared for this weeks
issue had been placed in type, but as eve
ry one is anxious to know what General
Taylor has to say, we deemed the Mes
sage would be the most acceptable article
we could lay before our patrons. They
can read 1t and then form their own opin-
ions as to It's merits.

ARRAY.

An affray occurred at the foot of Plane 5,
near the Summit, Tuesday morning last
nearly provi ing fatal TO ore of the parties con.
cerned in it. The circumstances are these, as
nearly as we can gather them. Three men
named, Dougherty, Daley, and Moore were en-
gagged until late hour, when some difficulty
occurred and sharp words passed between them
VI oore then went to his bed room, but was fol,
lowed, it seems, by Daley and Dougherty, who
upon the appearance of the two latter in his
room, snatched a bayonet from the wall and
stabbed Daley four times in different parts of
the body. wouHding him SO severely that his
recovery is considered doubtful Moore has
been apPrehended and is now lodged in Jail
We suppose his case viii undergo judicial in
vestigation at our January term of Court.

Baron ROthSchild.
WAsHINGroN, Dec. 4, lS49.

An English biographical sketch of the
English Rothschild, says of him:
The Old and New World alike bore
witness to his skill; and with the profits
of single loan, he purchased an estate
which cost gI5O.OOO. Minor capitalists,
like parasitical plants, clung to him and
were always ready to advance their mon
ey in speculatings at his bidding. Moth
ing seemed too gigantic for his grasp; moth
ing too minute for his notice. His mind
was as capable of calculating loan for
millions as Of calculating the lowest possi-
bic amount on which clerk could exist.
Like too many great merchants, whose
profits were counted by thousands, he
paid his assistants the smallest amount for
which he could procure them. He be-
came the high-priest of the temple of Ja-
nus, and the coupons raised by the capi-
'alist for despotic State were more than
a match for the cannon of the revolution
lists.
What a man of mischief, Not shil-
Ing did he ever earn.

Money in New York.

The New York Journal of Commerce
of last evening states, that the increased
demand upon the banks for money, which
commenced about the 10th inst, still con-
tinues, although since Wednesday it has
not been quite SO urgent The discount
line of all the banks is full, and per cent
is charged upon all paper over so days.
Some of the banks have greatly extended
their accommodations, charging the full
rate upon all bills even at short date
Had this call for money in every depart
ment of business come at time of COM
parative scarcity, there would have been
something like return to old prices; but
the demand has in general been so literally
m ct, that money may still be called easy,
although the street rates show decided
advance Good indorsed paper sells at Z
per cent, and some first class single names
at 71aS per cent. Few single name, such
as have been sold at 9, can now be done
under 10al2 per cent. This movement
has already had the effect to bring out a
large amount of unemployed capital.

1t would not then be necessary TO use the
