BALTIMORE, June I-5, p. m.
Change ia The oeather-1he eholeya-Las from ND Or
leans increase Of The aoodGen. Marriott retired - The
markets, &c.
The agreeable change in the weather gives room to
hope that whatever cholerac influences be aoat In
our atmosphere will be extinguished Since the
melancholy death OF Mr. Odof other have occur
red, though mild diarrhea is quite prevalent
The news by the steamer Niagara is now coming over
the wires from Boston, abstract OF which send by
telegraph
We have despatch here from New Orleans the Both
ut, bringing intelligence that in spite of all efforts stop
the crevasse the water still rising, and that labor
perfectly lost in attempting to subdue it. "Arsady
hall the city, says the despatch sis inundatd and the
habitants flying from their homes" All business
being wound up, and all who could do leaving for
the North, to escape that it feared would be
the deadly the history of the city The choe

inundated.
General Marriott retired this morning from his post
collector Of the port, and Colonel Kane into

the merit OF such pledge The sagacous editor OF the
Wing publishes himself attorney and counsellor, and
perhaps he has read that voluntary promise, without
consideration is not legal ground OF action, and has
thence drawn his reasoning, conveniently obvlous 10
all moral obligation Such code of ethics may suit the
heroic age but pdtteTtng Sbtefuge would not be too
strong an epthe wherewith designate his argument in
honest times
Again. even so late his Inauguration General Taylor
reiterated the pledge that he would regard honesty capac
y, and fidelity as The proper qualifications TO be consd
cred in appointments to- and removals from, office Now
the category is simply this General Taylor has either
bsen guilty. per per dfiOs of the outrageous
prescription for opinions sake contrary to all his Piled es
that the hundreds who have been removed from office
during the few months of his administration either
dishonest, incapable or unfdtthfa and, it is srenl
ousy concnded by his defenders that he has adhered
his pledges the latter is the only legitimate conclusion
Now as II happens that many Of these decapitaed office
holders are men OF high and honorable standing, and
their friends, restf under such an imputati on have
brought forward the most respectable and unmpeacha-
BILE testimony from their neighbors OF both political par
te IN defence OF their characters thus assaled by the
Executive, becomes General Taylor. his defenders
to remove this stigma of yraEnical injustice from his ad
mlnlstration. And certainly among all the hungry
pecants who seek to recommend themselves his favor
by coakng his sins in sophstry the palm of ingenuity if
not honesty, belongs to the editor of the Wing What says
he on this poln' "Honesy, capacity. fdely-these
the three great prerequisites to official worth and
has right TO consider his character for Tie possession
Of these qualities tmpugned because General Taylor does
not see fl to retain htm m o6ee", And if he is so
green" the editor of the Wing will consider that as
sufficient evidence of his ncapacty Could anything be
more profoundly Pckwckian' Ii General Taylor and
his cabinet fail to appreciate such supendous efforts IN
their behalf and properly to reward their author then
gratitude will not be characteristic of the ''heroic
age"
Should there be, however, any chosen adviser about
his Exceency, too old fashioned TO admire this delen
of his policy but who should deem his administration
"exposed TO rdcue by the forward imbecity of friend
ship on the part of the Wing, trust it will be
bered, in favor of its editor
'Non stimuli cuiquam concedetur amare ct sapere."
And that if be deemed advisable him from the
sphere OF his present abos, his reward may be proper
TONED rather to his deuotion than to his merits.

Correspondence Of the Baltimore SUM-

WASHINGTON, May 80, 1sI9
series Of important rumors and tew substantial fats
We have CLEAN OF sunshine to-day but, politically
there nothing that can unve the mysteries of this a
mnlstraion.
Among thousand rumors OF their movements select
few, follows:
Rumor l. Mr. Rives goes to Greece as minister with
the understanding, the part of the appointing powers
whoever they may be-that other Vrginian is to have
any appointment of diplomatic character during the
present administration.
Rumor p That the army of Virginia candidates and ap-
picants Tor diplomatic situations dissatisfied and will
seek revenge at proper time and in proper manner
Rmor Sd Ballie Peyon, esq left the city this evening
with commission minister to Chill in his pocket and
is travelling fast lest reconsideration should be had OF
The case and another vote taken with different result
Rumor 4th. That Abbott Lawrence is to go to England
IN search OF health the lack OF which prevented him
from accepting the Navy Department.
Rumor 9Th. That the Sixth Auditor is to be removed
as soon as competent man be found to take his
place.
Rumor 9th That six clerks go out of the Second Audi
tors office to- morrow.
Rumor 7th. That the acting editor of the National
wing is 10 go as minister to Spain
Rumor sth That Governor Kent is to be the consul at
Rio.
Ranor 9th That Mr. Harrington is appointed chief
clerk OF the Treasury.
All these rumors have certain basis, and would re-
qure longer explanation than would suit present space
and time
Among the facts, which, in the absence of rumor are
sometimes referred 10, may mention that the Secretary
OF State has appointed Louis F. Tass'ro, esq, of this
Sy, iorhery OF new forK, as clerK oil the consular
bureau AS the chief OF this important bureau Mr. Ia
slslro will be very useful to The department. Mr. Clay
ton had, OF course, very wide held of appointment in
this case and he has exhibited remarkable degree OF
dscernment his selection. If all his future appoint
ments should be equally judcious, his sagacity will be
atesed by the success OF his administration.
The administration have made some mistakes in turn
ing out ncumbents, but they hardly go amss their
selection OF appointments The virtue, the wisdom, the
chIvary of the whole land are at their command
Long unaccustomed TO office, the most intelligent wings
scramble and tight for the very crumbs that fall from the
government table ION

The hatchery sui goes ON.

We understand the following gentlemen were yester-
Iv removed from the Second Auditors Office of the
Treasury Department, viz: George w. Kimberly, OF
Indiana; Thos J. Robinson, of Kentucky; Benjamin +
Rown, OF Ohio; Michael Keller and Abraham NJ
F.rouhar, of Pennsylvania; Christopher C. Cole OF
Indiana and James M. Miner, of Virginia.
No charges of neglect of duty, want of "honesty,
anacy or fidelity, were made against either OF the
sr.ons removed and most of them had families, who
were dependent upon their Office for their support Yet
,hsv were brought to the block without hesitation or
,emorse BY the agents of the who has 'no friends
n reward no enemies TO punish" TO make places for
hungry spoils-hating wings, who "oathe" prescription,
except when applied to democrats. We infer from the
efficiency with which the axe has been welded recently,
striking off The heads of both high and low, that the
yeep of democrats from Office is to be indscrminae
and thorough And infer, too, that the poor patriots
bo have been excluded from all taste of treasury pap
for twenty long years, expect the present is their last
chance for twenty years They seem to be con-
eous that they will themselves be swept from office at
tbe end of the present "heroic dynasty. We under
.tand sensible old wing from North Carolina remark ed
recently, that he did not expect the next generation of
his descendants would know that the wing party had
been in power ever existed. except from history He
only expressed apprehensions with which all of his
marty seemed to be impressed, and which, live mistake
not the signs Of the tmes will turn out to be sober
rsalites
