The Next Presidency.

In letter recently received from a

nomination of Gen. Scott as the Whig
candidate for the mex Presidency, We
are requisite 10 chang our banner on

A few weeks since we supposed we
had defined our position in relation te
the next Wing candidate sufficiently
clear for all TO understand il. We then
stated or intended to state, that while Mr.
Fillmore was our choice, as the mex
Wing candidate, we did not think II hes
to place hls or any other mans name a
the head of our columns until nomina
ted by National Convention. 49,.
We admire Gen. Scott for his mora
worth, brilliant talents and heroic deed.
on the field OF battle, as does every true
American. But, a, the same time, ia
king all things into the account, we pre-
fer Mr.. Fillmore, and believe him to b.

during one of the most critical and peril
Gus times our country ever saw. Ant
his sagaci,y, and firmLess, his unyield

tra'ion ever stood better with the grea
mass of tho American people. and surely
few, If any, in any day, ever deserved

were attacked by 500 Spanish soldiers.

Taking n bath.

The other morning there might have

young b'hoys from the country, inienhy
gazing at sign in from, of well known

"Certainly," replied the polite keeper,
who retired Immediately to prepare the
bath.

as he came out of the room.
The customers entered together, and
the door was closed after them. After
waiting rather an unusual length Of time,
and hearing nothing like bathing opera
lions going on, the keeper applied his
eye to the key hole to see how they
were occupying themselves. To his
amusement. they were standing beside
the tub, occasionally dipping their fingers
into the water and then applying them
to their tongues, accompanied with
searching glances at each other. and the
tub in particular. After occupying
themselves in this manner for some time,
with visible signs Of growing impotence,
one of them tapped loudly a, the door.
The keeper obeyed the summons and
entered the room.
"Look here!" eagerly inquired one,
"ain't it pretty near ready?"

The following is from the pen of an
eye wi,ness--a. correspondent Of the
New York Herald:
/ am too much affected 10 write to you
more than TO say that have this day
been witness to one of the most brutal
acts of wsn,on inhumanity ever perpe.
lrated in the annals of history. Not
content, this government, in revenginy
themselves in the death Of these unior-
tunate, and, perhaps, misguided mcn
and which, it may even be said, was
brought upon themselves, but these
Spanish authorities deserve to be most
severely chas,ised for their exceedingly
reprehensible conduct in permitting The
Dissertation, as they have done, Of the
senseless clay OF our brave counrymen..
This morning, Forty Americans, Four
Irish, One Scotch, One Italian, One
PHILIPPINE Islander, Two Hayaneros,
and Two Germans, or Hungarians,
were sho. at III o'clock-after which
the troops were ordered TO retire; and
some hundreds of the very vilest rabble
and negroes, hired for the purpose, COM
menced stripping the dead bodies, multi
ating their limbs, tearing out their eyes,
cutting off their noses and fingers, and

and paraded them under the very walls

have supposed j, possible-conducs
themselves at such an awful moment,
with the lor;itude these men displayed
under such trying circumstances. They

brought TO the place of execution, six
made to kneel down and receive the FIRE

From the Burlington Telegraph.
Burlington and Peoria Nc. Road
Meeting OF Directors.

The Directors met at Peoria on the
eth ult. The Engineer (Col. Morgan)
made a report of his 'labors so far as
they have extended; and upon his sug-
gesiion the Directors established The route
from Peoria TO Knoxville. The route
designated will follow the old grade for a
, distance os some six or seven miles west
OF Peoria, when il will bear north through
the kickapoo valley in a direct line to
Knoxville. passing midway between Far
mington and Brimfeld.
Proposals will be received until LIST OF
Oclobei for the grading of the road from
Knoxville eastward to the old grade, and
j. was stated by the Engineer ,ha, the
road could be put in operation between
Knoxville and Peoria in twelve months
from the present time.
II was also determined to put under
contract the grading of the road from
this place TO Knoxville on lst of January
next. provided the further sum of $780,
900 shall be raised on this side the riv.
er, which will of course be done Instant
er. |. was further stated by the Engin.
Ger iha, the aDho'e road from Burling.
ION TO Peoria could be put into opera
ton IN eighteen months from the pres
ent time. The only thing, then, neces.
sary 10 secure this result is the further
subscription Of $50. 900, to raise which
will require but few hours of active
effort IN community such as ours, anG
whose interests are so much Unidentified
with the success of the enterprise. Il is
taken foi granted that there is not bust
ness man among us, who is in The enjoy
ment OF any degree Of public favor and
patronage, who will not lend ready and
liberal hand to the work. Property
holders, both in town and country, will
OF course see their own interest too clear.
y 10 let The matter stand in doubt n sin.
gle moment for the want Of effort al,
their hands.
The prospects before US are certainly
most encouraging, the time when The
whistle of the locomotive is TO be heard
among us is fixed. and fixed as al: will
gladly learn at period much earlier than
the most sanguine had hoped for, and il,
is that all may know what is necessary
to be done, and that they may be promp,
IN dining il, and not that we doubt their
inclination. that we lay these facts before
them. The $4,000 must be raised,
and this fac. being known, the sooner
The work shall be accomplished the bet
ter will j, be both Tor our credit and our
interests.
We take pride in stating that such is
the confidence entertained abroad in the
Prariicabilily Of the route. and such The
standing and credit Of The company even
at This early stage "f its existence, that
offers Of iron and other facilities have
already been rendered from various
sources for its prosecution. anc upon
such terms as the company may choose
to make.
