which Generals Pillow and Worth wore spoken Of
in terms of high commendation. The knowledge
that these letters had gone forth. so ncensed Gene
raj Scott that he caused the Issue Of General Order
No. 349, in which these two officers were accused
with putting themselves, although at the time the
General in chief had confessedly proof upon
which to base his unheard of appeal TO tho lower
ranks oftho army to cast their contumcly upon two
Generals, whose lead the greater portion Of the
troops had often followed to victory. The issue Of
this order by the manifestation of Jealousy which
displayed, went far to show the fear, lest these
same two officers should receive more credit than he
in his arrogant pruriency of fame was disposed to
allow and in it may also be tue consciousness
that they were entitled to it If not, why did he
thrust forth order SO injurious to dscip-
line and endeavour to fasify facts which were too
wen known to permit Of undue credit being received
by any.
The charges which were preferred against Gen.
Pillow were volumnOus, and Of the most scandalOus
character. Not only was he charged with various

fitted to adorn the columns ofsomc reckless partisan
press than to have place among the military

internal evidence that it was never intended for

should remain unanswered by his victim, who must
sink under the weight of the charges, and Of the

We do not believe that the future Emperor Of

guided by England, OF that he will select
London journal as the channel for the commu-
nication of his intentions. But whatever the

Movements on the Rio Grande-Genera
Avalos put to Flight.

Avalos put to Flight.
By Geographic despatch received from New
Orleans we learn that the steamship TEXAS ar
rived at that city on the evening Of the | It'll
instant from Galveston, with intelligence from
Brownsville as late as the 9Th. among which
is an account Of an important revolutionary
movement at Matamoros, terminating in the
rout of the government forces by the insur-
gents.
1t appears that on the I'd instant portion OF
the national guard stationed at Matamoros revolt
ed , and crossed to the American side of the Rio
Grande, where they raised the revolutionary
standard. and soon had well-armed and or
ganized force of six hundred men, when pre-
parations were made TO recross the river and
attack Matamoros.
The revolutionary troops succeeded in cross
ing to the Mexican side On the 4th instant and
Immediately took up their line of march to-
wards Matamoros.
General AvALos, with fifteen hundred govern
ment troops, had been sent out by GARDENS
the Governor of Tamaulipas, to meet them
and battle soon ensued. The insurgents
fought with great bravery; and notwithstanding
the government troops Outnumbered them al
most three to one, they put General AvALos to
flight, and routed his troops with considerable
loss Of life. AvALos and his scattered forces
fled to Maamoros, where preparations were
making to meet and repel the insurgents
1t is represented that the revolt was caused
by the appointment of GARDENS as Governor,
whose usurPations have made him very objec-
tionable to the people.
Whether this is an impartial account of the
affair, We have no means of determining further
than what appears on the face of it,

Banks In the West.

In framing the constitutions of the Western
States. rampant Democracy took especial pains
to exclude banks; and the result has been that
the people of those States have been subject to
'shaving" in all its forms. This feature of
Democratic policy has at length become odious
to Wisconsin. which has just ratified bank
law by from 10000 to $4,000 majority.
A PECULIARLY of the Wisconsin law is that
railway stock, properly guaranteed, is accepted
as a basis Of banking operations.

Addressing his constituents few days ago,
Colonel BENTON adverted to the expenditure
of the General Government as fit subject for

bitter partisans who complain of its increase as
an abuse resulting from Wing rule. The
Colonel said:
"Let me do justice. Party warfare throws the
blame of these sixty millions on the present Wing

The following letter has been written BY Mr..

dinner from his fellow citizens of Boston;
Bosros, November 8, 1852.
My DEAR SIRs; Upon my arrival in Boston last
week had the honor to receive your communica-
ton Of the lsih ultimo, inviting me to meet my
fellow citizens At public dinner, or in such other
] am deeply grateful for the honor which you
propose TO confer upon me, and cannot adequately
express my sense Of the value which place upon
the approval, by my fellow ctiz me OF the manner
in which have discharged the duties of my diplo-
matte mission,
That approval itself amply compensates me for
the labors and zeal with which claim TO have rep.
resented the Republic at the Court TO which, was
accredited. am gratifed also that you recognise
the earnestness of my endeavors to cultivate feel
"ings Of social regard between the people of the
the United Kingdom, for these deem among the
most important incidental duties of my high Office.
have mingled freely with various classes OF
people in Great Britain and Ireland, and have uni
iormy been treated with the utmost consideration
and kindness. While, however, cherishing rela-
tions OF friendship and mutual good will with a
kindred race, have constantly sought to maintain
the honor and promote the best interests OF our
own country; and il gives me the highest satisfac-
ton TO believe that at no former period have our
inter national relations with the parent country
been in a more satisfactory condition than at the
present time. EIs f.se 81. ..i!E ,8T. rttstE 81. 90
Although under ordinary circumstances it would
afford me great pleasure to accept your invitation,
yet esteem il my duty to decline il, in cOnse-
quence Of the melancholy loss recently sustained
by our city and our common country few days
subsequent to the date of your letter, the United
States were deprived by death of their greatest
statesman; and the insignia of mourning which
meet eyes in every direction justly attest the
deep sorrow which pervadcs all classes Of our peo-
pie for the national bereavement.
At such a season of general grief should ap
pear to be wanting in respect for the dead, and
consideration for the living, were to accept fes-
tive entertainment as testimonial of the services
of which you are pleased to speak 50 kindly. r .
In the belief that the feelings which have prompt
ed my decision will find full response in your
own and the hearts Of those whom you represent,
have the honor TO be, with sentiments Of very
great respect, your obliged friead aud obcdient
servant, ,l ..a

Consular Duties.

We evidences all sides of growing in
terest in our consulate abroad, with a better I'M
derstanding of their duties, and a more just ap
probation of their Importance. These institutions
have respect to the life, safety, and comfort of
Americans in foreign countries. They are essen
tiaI to our commercial interests; they may be
made the instruments Of bringing to US important
information, and of diffusng just impressions in
regard to country and its inhabitants among
foreign nations. Lord Palmerston declared in the
British Parliament, few years since, "that he
had read every communication from the British
Consulate, and that he deemed their correspond
ence to be the most important that was received
by the government"
An illustration of the scope and capacity of our
consulates is presented by our Consul at Paris, Mr.
Goodrich. Although discharging his ordinary
duties in a manner which has merited and
ceved the appreciation of all parties, at home and
abroad, and at the same time he has lately pub
lished geographical, statistical. aud historical
view OF the Uaited States, in tho French language,
which will probably do more to make country
known abroad than any other work Gf except
the Merchants' Magazine) which has been
published, 1t has not only been noticed with com.
uendation by the leading journals OF Paris, but
referred to by the President Of the French repub-
lie, as we'll as other eminent political and scientific
men OF position in France.
We trust the attention OF Congress will speedily
be directed to the subject of remodeiing our con
sular system. and especially t. the importance Of
having our consuls placed on proper basis; and
that specially qualified to fill their office may
be always selected. Conauls should be familiar
with the language and manners of the country to
which they sent; they should be men Of large
| and varied information, aud OF Der aud prudent
character. Without these qualifications they eau.
not be safely entrusted with the important and
delicate duties belonging to their office.
