Exchange Hotter.

The new proprietors of the Exchange Ho-
tel have fully commenced operations, and UNI
der fattering circumstances. On Sunday
number of our citizens were invited to dine at
the Exchange, and the invitation was accept
ed by many fond of the good things of this
earth. OF course we were there, for being a
profound Judge of what constitutes a good
dinner, and practical illustrationin ourself OF
a good appetite, our opinion was toll
fromable. Turl1ies, venison, roast beef, and
the numerous ct ceteras making up first rate
dinner, disappeared miraculously, and went
for more to come. The champagne went
down, for some were present who avould drink
and spirits went up-but all remembered the
day, and were doeile. Messrs. Rouse & Go
bin, and their able assistant Mr.. Hill, know
how to get up good dinners, and make every
one comfortable who sojourns with them
| We wish them success.

Ritchie nnd Gen. Jackson.

The Washington Union, edited by l1r.
Richie, formerly of the Richmond Enquirer,
is continually quoting Gen. Jackson, and with
great eulogies upon his opinions, urging them
upon the attention of Congress for the guild
ance and rule of members. But there was
one opinion OF which the old editor never
saws word, and that is the opinion Of utter
contempt in which he held Mr.. Richie ofthe
Richmond Enquirer. He once said that il
Richie were to praise him, he would think
himself guilty of some great moral improprie-
ty. With what good grace then come
these references to the opinions ofthe old pa
triot by Father Richie. To speak IN due
reverence, it seems like the devil quoting
scripture-but never quoting any thing in al
fusion to himself. The hearts that can be
influenced by him, must already be prepared
to drink in wickedness.

The Union.

In his Message, Gen. Taylor uses the fol-
lowing language in favor of Union. 1t will
be IN vain that Southern Democrats threaten
disunion, with Taylor in the Presidential
chair. Disunion will find no favor IN his eyes,
nor with any true patriot. Such language
has recently been used in the halls of Con-
gress favoring disunion, as few years back.
no one, especially repres entative ola large
number of American citizens, would have
dared breathe. If encouragement be lent
these traitorous cries, the disunion party will
gather strength, and will never fail to threat
en- where patriotism may be inundated
But with President who thus emphatcally
rebukes the treason, and people who will
support him in his greatest endeavors to pre-.
serve the Union, those members Of Congress
who in rebellious spirit, or who would seel
to intimidate better patriots than themselves
with threats of disunion, and would wish t.
bring about such an unfortunate consumma
ton, will find themselves the scorn and con
tempt of all honest citizens:
wAttachment to the Union of the States
(says The man of Buena Vista) 'should be
6abitually fostered in every American heart
For more than half century, during which
kingdoms and empires have fallen, this Unior
has stood mistaken. The patriots who form
ed it have long since descended to the grave
yet still it remains, the proudest moHumen
to their memory, and the object of affection
and admiration with every one worthy to
bear the American name. In my judgment
its dissolution would be the greatest of calam-
tiles, and to avert that should be the study Of
every American. Uponits preservation must
depend our own happiness and that of count
less generations to come. Whatever dangers
MAJ threaten it, l shall stand by it and main
tain it in its integrity, to the fall extent OF
the obligation imposed, and the power confer
red upon me by the Constitution"

Ier paper in the country. The Journal is now
commencing the new year under iattering
circumstances. As a former contributor tc

TheDeficir.

Below we make an extract from the Re-
port of the Secretary of the Treasury, rela-
tive to the deficit in the Treasury, &c. 1t
shows conclusively the cause of the deficit
and to which Administration it properly be-
longs:
1t will be observed that there is estimated
a deficit on the 1st July next Of $5.82S, 121 Sc,
and on the LIST July, 1851, of 10,547 .092 10;
making in the whole an estimated deficit OF
SIC, 375, PA 80 to be provided for, arising from
the expenses of the War and Treaty with
Mexico
In order to aid in forming an estimate of
the expenses occasioned by the War with
Mexico, have directed statement TO be
prepared which is hereto annexed, marked
| (H.) showing the excess of the expenses of
the Army proper for three years from LIST
April 1846 to 1st April, 1s49, over those for
the three years Immediately preceding and
the expense oft the NavyIproper for two and
half years from lst of April, 1916 10 LIST Oc-
tober, 1913, over those for the two and a
thalf years Immediately preceding.

o the number of military land warrents issua-
BILE under the act of 18th February 1S47,
and the act of August 10, 1S4S, is to be taken
> into consideration. Under those acts, 65,171
e warrents for $50 acres each, and 5,219 for 40
acres each, have already been issued.--
Claims to the amount of 5000 have been sus-
pended or rejected, and it is estimated that
r the number of claims yet to be presented will
y amount to 1900. (See statement marked
= III |, hereto annexed.)
The whole amount of warrents ssuable
under the act above mentioned, may, there
y fore, be estimated as equal to 10000, of $50

THE PARKMAN MUHDER.-Impor!ant Dis
cOUeTy.-It will be remembered that during
the excitement attendant upon the arrest Of
Professor Webster, charged with the murder
of DIR. Parkman, it was stated that the Pro-
fessor had received from Mr.. Swain a large
quantity of grape vine cuttings.
1t was at first reported that these were bun
dies of faggots to be used for the purpose Of
kindling fires, &C.. but when the nature oil
the wood became known, it was supposed
that the Prolessor had merely ordered them
to be sent to his laboratory for some chemical
experiment. 1t has since been ascertained;
by burning flesh with grape vine cuttings,
that the etRuuia arising Is entirely concealed.
This is fan important discovery in science,
and may or may not have been known to the
Professor.
We also learn that DR.. Alex. Houston call
ed at the house of DIR. Parkman on the day
Or day after his disappearance, and was in
formed by member Of DR.. P.'s family, that
ne had left the CITY and would notreturn for
several days. Our readers can draw their
