One Of our correspondents, few days
ago, referred 10 fact, Of which we have
been cognizan. for sometime, and which
we are li,lle surprised has never before
iranspired. We allude TO the offer made
TO Gen. Scott. when in the city of Mex
leo, after the capture Of the city, BY sev-
,eral of the wealthiest persons OF the Re-
public--to maintain him as President Of
that Republic, with as much Of his army
~ would be willing TO remain in the
country, until the government could be
organized, and he country restored to
prosperity, peace and order. As an in-
ducemen, TO accept this offer, these gen.
,lemen bound themselves to senle upon
Gen. Scott the sum ofone million of dol,
lars. This splendid offer was declined
by The General, with scarcely moments
consideration. The brave old soldier
could not be tempted by such induce
ments 10 abandon the flag nader which
he had achieved SO much renown and
honor. The merit Of this sacrifice APP
pears the greater, from the consideration
Of the narrow circumstances Of General
Scott, who, for the las. twenty years, has
had a comparatively small salary 10
maintain himself and the necessary dig.
nifty of his position. N
This offer presented other temptations
besides Its pecuniary features. TO a
mar OF ambition-that noble and praise
worthy ambition which seeks to ascot
ate ones name with some great design
for the improvement OF our species, and
the advancemens Of peace, civilization,
and good order among men--,his propo.
sition opened noble field OF most pow
erful alluremen,s. Tosave nation from
choos--a people from discord---a coan-
try. favored by the Almighty, from des-
ola,ion and ruin-was certainly yoca.
zion worthy Of The high reputation OF
Gen. Scott. With his fine military and
administrative talents, backed by an A.
merican army, he would no doubt have
redeemed this long afflicted land from
those disorders which have teduced il ia
its present condition ofen,ire prostra,ion
and imbecility. M
In achieving this great end, he would
have contributed, incidentally, to the ad.
sancement OF the interests OF his own ma.
tive land whose prosperity is materially
enhanced by the development, Of the re-
sources Of Mexico, and the improvement,
Of her condition. A more liberal policy
towards foreign nations would have been
introduced, and the difficulties now en-
coun.ered by Ne in abe execution OF grea
designs OF inter-communication, largely
affecting the in,erests Of both countries
would have been removed. ~ o. Del.

OBITUARY.


Died of Apopiexy, at his residence at
,Chilieo,hie, Wapello county, Iowa,
Feb. 18Th, 1852, ALEXANDER POS
TON, in the 69lh year of his age.
Mr.. POSITION was . native of Vir-
ginia, and he seems to have descended
from family tina. took noble stand IN
favor Of the cause OF liberty, during the
Revolutionary struggle. His father, with
the commission of Major, under General
Morgan, was in several engagements du-
ring the Revolution, and enjoyed tie en-.
tire confidence of that distinguished oifi-
Ger. Two Of his uncles are said 10 have
fallen in the battle of Brandy wine. He
also seems TO have inheriscd the patriotic
spirit OF Lis ancestors. He was a vol.
unteer, and bore the commission Of
Captain in the service of the United
States, in 1914; and was one of that
number who SO gallanlly volunteered
without the cali Of the government, TO
dislodge the British from the Capital Of
the United States. In short, he ever
held himself in readiness 10 fly to his
Conn,ry's standard whenever she should
call.
As a friend and neighbor he was
universally respected aud esteemed; as a
husband and a father he was most dear
ly beloved; and in all his private anl so.
cial relations without ostentation or yani-
ty he manifested noble and magnani.
nous spirit. Although he made no pub.
lie profession Of religion; he gave salts.
factory evidence that he enjoyed the
heartfelt assurance that he was at peace
with his God. A short time previous 10
his last illness he spoke concerning his
approaching dissolution with great com.
posure, and gave directions with regard
to his funeral. He selected two ny INNS
to be sung on that occasion, which are
highly expressive of the confidence he
had in his Redeemer. From this ey i
dence we have reason 10 believe tha, he
has gone TO those scenes Of eternal beau.
ti,ude, so fondly expected by the faithful
Christian,
"Far from these narrow scenes of night,
Unbounded glories rise; $500 20
And realms Of infinite delight.
Unknown to mortal eyes.
No cloud these blissful regions know,
Forever bright and fair! F
For sin the source Of wo. 4.l :.
Can never enter there. M
Thereno alternate night is known,
Nor suns faint sickly ray;
Butglory from the sacred throne, sa

Mail Robbery.

The mail made up in this city on the
Cd Of February, containing letters and
packages Of the 3lst OF January and Is,
February, and the matter not only for
Keokuk but for nearly all Iowa, and sew
eral other districts beyond that, has been
robbed. l, was a very latge mail, and
was carried via Springfield and Quincy.
On Thursday night. Qhe 5,h.) the mail
arrived at the Stage stand Of Mr.. Thong ..
son, fourteen miles this side, or south Of
Quincy. The stage-driyer from .Thomp
sons 20 Quincy, left about two O'Clock
in The morning, and the next morning a
great many letters were found scattered
along the road, and through the field
These were gathered up aud given TO the
Postmaster nj Burton, who forwarded
ihem TO the Postmaster al Quincy, and
on Tuesday. when the robbery was dis
covered, Mr.. Carson, the United States
Mail Agent, happened, accidentally, 10 be
inQuincy. He Immediately caused Eli
Seymour, the stage.driver between
Thompson's and Quincy, 10 be arrested
and committed. He was subsequently,
liberated on bail, Blu, on the Friday fol-
lowing his bail delivered him up, and he
is now in the Quincy Jail. 'sih
Asthe mail was large, and il is well
known that large sums Of. money are re-
mitted through tha. mail at this season,
il is believed that the robber must have
made good haul; bu, as he destroyed
every post-blll, il is impossible TO arrive
at the facts. -. VI. ,....,,f.
A large number Of unimporiani letters
have been picked up. Persons having
made remis,ances through the mail atihal
date, would do well 10 inform the Post
master here, or the Agent. Mr.. Carson,
rs the information may lead to more Ger.
,ainsy ss TO the perpetration. But little
money was found OF, or about Sey mour;
butan envelope OF package having the
stamp Of Messrs. Page & Bacon was
found on his person. This. with many
other circumstances, leaves bu, little
doubt thci he is the guilty party. After
his surrender to the jail, Mr. ShaIcross.
. United States mail agent, 10 elicit what
he could from Seymour, was, with the
knowledge and consent Of the Sheriff,
committed 10 the same room with him.
Wha, disclosures he made in the interim
We do not know.
The affair has another aud unpleasan,
aspect. 'rhe robbery. j. is believed, was
committed between Thompsou's the
stage stand, and Burton, distant four
maes, on Thursday night. The mex,
Sunday Seymour married the daughter
Of Mr.. Thompson, very amiable and
worthy young girl. the daughter of an
honest father. On tuesday he was ar
rested. and Mr. Thompson, with anoih-
er, became his bail. On the Friday fol.
lowing he WINS surrendered to the custo-
dy Of the law. Ii Seymour be as guilty
as he is now supposed to be. his punish

GILEMORE,S
Anti-BilIiOuS Pills,

TITS remarkable fact that most diseases
a OF the present day partake to q great ex
tent of bilious tendency: hence the FIRE.
Guency Of those wherein the glands and
membranes are attacked, which are styled
iniiamatory. at this period when our
country is annually visited by fevers and
other epidemics, peculiarly indigenous to
this country, and those residing in parts
contiguous to marshes, low. wet and swan
py lands, are being constantly affected jby
diseases of the febril and bilious class
which is sweeping off thousands Of our
best and most useful inhabitants. In this
lamentable state of affairs is it at all re-
markable that there should be great de-
mand for some medicine prepared on sci
entific principles, that would prevent so
much disease and mortality, and one. that
could be in EVERY family, travellers port
nanteau, transfers pocket, and ladies'
toilette, and used with safety. The pro-
prietor, guided by these considerations has
compounded an
.4NTEBiLLIOUS PHI,
Which is the result of experience. and
when he offers this Pill to Tine public. not
as panacea for all the ills that flesh is
heir TO, but as corrector to that class of
diseases arising from hillary arrangements,
he does it whit he most perfect assurance
that it will accomplish more good than any
other preparation now in use.
These Pills may be taken by the most
delicate female, as well as the most athlet-
lc man. They may be used with certainty
IN Dyspepsia, Costiveness, Female Obstruc-
tons, Enlarged Spleen, Foul Stomach,
Bilious, lnilamatory and Yellow Fever,
Jaundice, Bilious Cholic, and all other
diseases arising from an impure state of the
system. The following is sample of the
numerous certificates the proprietor is
daily receiving:
