IN SENATE.

the 10th March last requiring information In relation to

ry between the United States and Mexico; which
laid on the table and ordered to be printed.
The Secretary states that in consequence Of the Fifth

as proved by lis success but rash as il would have
been denounced had il faedof abandoning his
catQns with the coast and therefore with his country
and Of committing the fate Of his army to forward
movement into the heart of the enemys territory and to
vigorous attack upon the capital We all remember
With what anxiety this decisive regarded
and how we waited, with almost painful solcitude, for
tidings from brethren engaged in perious conflict
and shrouded from view by the cloud that rested
upon them Bat ere long this obscurity gave way, like
the veil that covered and then revealed the Trojan hero
Quinn circumfusa repente,
Sendit Sc nubes ct in ethera pufgat apertum,
and flag upon the towers of Mexico, and the
campaign brought to glorious conclusion. .a
In these operations SO gratifying to pride and
honorable TO our character Gen. Scott the leader
the commander responsible to his country for their pro-
lection and their execution And well did he fulfil the
task assigned to him Bold and active in his movements
fertile in resource, and prompt in sezng every adyan
age Of the Of his enemy, he displayed traits Of
generashp which have commanded the respect of the
world and have placed him among the great captains of
the age And these brilliant achievements have not only
conferred impeIlshable honor upon name but they
have added to moral strength and standing among
the nations of the earth by the display of noble qualities
which prove that an American army is able as it is
willing to stand between Their country and her foes and
to defend her rights and her interests in any extremity
of difficulty and danger.
For his share in these splendid feats am willing to
make provision for comforting upon Gen. Scott this mark
Of public appreciation and think he well merits it.

Affairs In Georgetown.

GEORGETOWN, August 21-12 m.
The Rev. Bernard Mcguire, gentleman Of
unsurpassed education and talents, and grad
uate of the Georgetown College, has been APP
pointed to preside over its operations, as presi-
dent. Mr.. Mcguire has ever been, not only since
he entered upon the duties of his ministry, but
while student in this tme-honored institution,
q general favorite among all its inmates. The
appointment has caused joy among it's students
and teachers, and given universal satisfaction to
all interested.
The excursion Of the Roman Catholic free
school, on Thursday, was truly trip of pleasure.
After proceeding down the river as far as Sandy
Point, stopping at several places on the way, the
steamer returned about sunset No accident of
any kind happened during the day. The trip
Melted about $3.50, which will be spent for the
benefit of the school.
Business upon our canal has been as heavy, or
perhaps heavier, this week than ever known in
q single week before. Since our last report
ninety boats, heavily laden with every kind of
produce which could be named, and with which
the rich country bordering upon the line abounds,
have arrived, and about the same number have
departed, with assorted cargoes of merchandise.
The late heavy rains have furnished IN album
dant supply Of water the entire length of the
line.
The able and eloquent speeches, delivered at
the mass meeting in our town on Wednesday
night last, especially that of Judge Johnson, of
Ohio, has produced effect which the Demo-
cratic leaders and whippers-in, with all their
a. - -
Senator Seward, and their lille stratagems, will
find it wholly out of their power to remove. We
have seen more than one Democratic voter since,
who was present on the occasion, who have
avowed their determination to support General
Scott. The day has passed when the honest
hard listed yeomanry Of the country can be gulled
with hickory bushes, Polk, Dallas, and the Ia
riff Of AZ, sc. Their cry now is, Give us a man
we know, one who has rendered his country some
service, one upon whom the country can rely in
the hour Of danger and difficulty, and not one
who is "little and unknown" and great at moth
ing, except designations and declensions-and We
will support him..
The supply of beef at Drovers Rest this week
amounted in ALL to 425 head-175 sold to District

and $50 were taken by Baltimore dealers. Old

Good Joke.
ELECTRO.

The Richmond Wing alludes to the piece Of
waggery published few days since, purpOrting
to be an address of certain Why members of
Congress, to their constituents at large, assigning
their reasons for not voting for General Pierce.
1t was, says the Wing, sarcastic parody of the
address of Faulkner & Co. But the wise men
who preside over the columns of the Washington
Union took it in dead earnest, and devote two
mortal columns to its humiliation, and prove
most conclusvely, to their own satisfaction, that
it was gross fraud on the part Of the Wings.
The Wing comments: "The thing is funny. We
know of no other self-sufhcient stoopid' ca
able of being done by such hoax"
