Our Washington correspondence.

Our Warrington Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, July Fl, 1S49.
Special Comssissoner 10 California Biisn-a Rsil
road 10 the Pscife-Coi Weiier-TAs CsSinss.
Your correspondent here has already announced to
you that VIM c. Jones, Col Bentons son-in- law had
resigned the Sscretsryship Of the Board Of Commits
soners for the settlement Of Mexican claims and that
he had been sent to Mexico for information In rela-
tion to the said claims. | have, however, to inform
you that q peep behind the curtain at the White
House, ensbleslme to state that Mr.. Jones has been
despatched by the government with ell speed Cali
forna land through Mexico sad that the steamer
Water Witch has been ordered to convey him Vera
Cruz
The object of the visit Of this gentleman Califor-
MIA is not exactly known; but IT has been surmised
that its object is first to persuade Col Fremont to
cept the appointment of Commissioner to the
boundary line between this country and Mexico, to
pursuade the people of California to frame eonstitu-
on and to inquire into the validity Of certain grants
Of land supposed to be false or invalid.
OF late the administration has been fishing TO gain
Col Benton, at least his influence neutrality
in the Senate, should he be reelected to It, This is
done by heapng undeserved favors upon the members
Of his family, as Is proved by the above facts.
BUTT issupposed that Old Bullion will not at any rate
take strong ground against the but will
medium course, supporting the in
His hobby is ut present, railroad to tho Pacidc from
point in Missouri; this road be made to
start from that point The only point which presents
itself Mt present, and which can possibly be made
available for such comm nicaton Is fcom Matagorda
In Texas up the Rio Grande to Haso del Norte, and
from thence to the ella This route Is nearly
direct line, and road be made at less than
hall of the expense than from any other point.
Col Weller removed because he was a democrat,
and did not enjoy the Of the administrations
this the fact The charges made against him by the
whg press of unnecessary delays at New Orleans
totally false There is not likely to be many more
movals Of democrats. The administration finds it is
losing by 1t than 1t possibly gain and further
more that the public service instead Of prohting by it,
actually is the loser because OF those appoint
ed to Offices green hands knowing but little
nothing OF the duties they have to perform The
tion must suffer several hundred thousand dollars by
such changes but that's nothing the peoples money
returns to the people, through set Of philosophers
always standing in readiness to catch at the smallest
chance.
More another day.
P.S-There will be q blow up in the cabinet ere
long. They beginning TO squabble. The last Sit
ting long, and resulted In nothing Of any
quencs. We will see what the next will be.

GEN. TAYLoR's IGNoRANcE.-The op-
position papers are becoming very factious
over the ignorance they impute to Gen.
Taylor, who, according to their accoants,
does not appear to be as profound and
accomplished a scholar as Gen. Jackson
They tell a good many stories illustrating
the old gentlemans depiorable want Of
intelligence. Some of these stories would
be highly amusing, if they were not so
palpably deficient i'll the great element
of truth. or else probability. Thus, they
are circulating an anecdote that Old
Zach denied to some Democrat that he
lad issued Proclamation for fast on
account of the Cholera; and that when
assured by the gentleman that he had
seen it in the newspapers, he replied that
it must be some of Tom Ewing's doing's,
who was always sending him a parce! Of
bills to sign, &c.
Our opposition friends are losing their
usual tact. Do they expect people to
believe such fables as this! If General
Taylor can read his own name when he
sees it in the papers, signed to Proclama-
tion, then this very funny story must be
d
know, by this fiction, what confidence to
place in others of similar character
We don't pretend that Gen. Taylor is
more remarkable as a scholar than Martin
Van Buren, Gen. jackson, or many other
of the Democratic leaders. He is proba-
bly, not much better qualified for pro-
fessorship i'll a university than either OF
those gentlemen. But, what is more i'm
portant he possesses in an eminent de-
gree the qualities necessary to high
Executive station-the sagacity the firm
ness, the decision, the enlarged and ccm-
prehensive patriotism, which are not
always found in union with great learning.
In Gen. Tayler, we have nam of action
rather than of words, while. at the same
time, it will not be doubted by any candid
person, that his intelligence is at least
equal to that of most Of the principal pub
lie men of the United States.
When the British Colonel Tarleton
sneerngy asked an American lady if her
countryman, Col. Washington, could read,
she replied that she could at least make
his mark" referring to all ngly cut the
bold dragoon had bestowed upon the
proud Briton. The Wings may, in like
manner, remind the rivilers of General
TAYLOR that, even if he were as ignorant
as they represent him, he is at least able
to make his mark, both upon the enemies
of his country i'll the battle field, and his
political enemies i'll the ballot-box.

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.-The Bath
Tribune says, that child of DR.. Shaw,
two years of age, died lately. after a
sickness of six hours, from eating cobalt;
which was prepared for flies.
One incident connected with her death,
says the Tribune, was affectingly beautl-
full. When her eyes began TO grow dim
with death, she evidently fancied 1T was
night and she was going to sleep, aud
she Cied with her customary "good night,
mamma" many times repeated, trembling
on her lips.
