THE EVIDENCE OF AN OrPoNSNr.--
The Cleveland True Democrat, after
speaking highly Of the gallantry and bu-
mainly OF Gen. Scott, says Of Gen Perez:
"Iie fought as bravely as the best. No
one questions bis courage. q. M. Clay,
who knew him we'll, endorses that, and
his solderlike conduct. But there /.
another chapter not yet noticed by hi,
friends, which should be written, and
published, by oil who make serious &c
count Of his military life. Gen. Pierce
arrived in Mexico soon after the capture o
Vera Cruz, and was detained with bis com
mpnd, in the sickly, or Vomito Region, !
we mistake not, some six weeks. Th'
peril to the health Of his soldiery wa
imminent. Ye, by care, such as onl!
kind men practice, by steady and al
earnes, wa,chfulness over the habits ant
comfort Of his soldiers, he saved their
sickness. Better such conduct fat thar
common bravery on the battle fell. No
bier, by all The odds, IS The spirit which
guards life al the hazard Of life, than the
fell purpose which exposes life, to take
life. And this praise is due 10 Genera

The advantages that this route would
have over the other is evident. Ii Is

"a FIRE IN THE REAR."-Wh'lst
President Fillmore is denounced in se-

up Gen Scot, in the following:
"He has been almost forty years pro-
minenily before the country, and in that
time, he has said end done many silly

meath Tie rubbish Of time. But lei him

speeches will then be raised from their

feet, especially in the south. None but
the most discree, man that ever lived,
standing in the public gnze for forty
years, and having 10 move in .he midst
ofall manner Of factions and ,nteres,s,
could avoid doing and saying some fool
ish things. How much more, then,
would the life of a man Of Gen. Scott's
weakness, vanity and pride, be spotted
all over with words and acts that he would
wish to be obllterated forever and tha,

early days in the army-his quarrel with
Gen. jackson in which he came of sec

with Gov Marcy, in which he got the
worst Of the fight; his more recent con-
test with Gen. Pillow, 10 which, Ito say
the least Of it,-he made nothing, and
finally. his base treatmet Of Mr.. Clay in

GEN ScoTT ON A NATIONAL BANK,
BASKRuPT Law, &C., &c--The whig
press have made attempts to ridicule the
democratic convention for its resolution
in opposition TO a National Bank; but, in
view Of tho position Of the whig party,
we think such action highly proper. Its
National Conventions, in former times,
have pledged that party in favor Of such
an institution; and, no official intimltion
having been given 10 the contrary the
presumption is they would still establish
one, il they could; Such design now
seems more probable from the fact, that
they have selected a man who 10 known

other Of the old odious measures Of bis

A Railroad Letter.

We are unacquainted with the writer
Of the following letter, but insert it, as we
have done every thing sent us, bearing
in favor of Railroad improvement. Mr..
Huff is mistaken in relation to KALrDA
having been spoken Of in the Venture in
connection with the Dayton and Michigan
Railway. The points mentioned in this
county have been PEsDLEroN and GIL.
BOA, and CoLuMBUs Grove and OrTowA,
though it was doubtless the case in the
article which induced his communication.

citizens have been advised and have sub
scribed literally. We do not understand
that the Company intend making Gilead

Ep1roR KALIpA VENTURE
Sn:-Having seen publication copied
from your paper, stating that the engi-
neers were TO be upon the route shortly,
10 locate the Railroad from Sidney TO
Toledo, and speaking with some Proba
bility Of its making Lima and Kalida
points on said road; and also having
seen II stated that a meeting had been
held in Findlay for the purpose Of raising
Stock, and if possible leading the road by
that route: l am much surprised that
there can be q doubt entertained by the
Company as to the best route, or .
thought entertained Of using the Findfay
route: as they want for success route
without ruinous compe tition, and through
county which is not already fully sup.
piled with railroad facilities. The people
| of Findlay are well aware Of the advan,a-
ges that ihe road would be TO them as c
competing road With the one they have: foI
lii is evident there would be strong COM
petition between the two roads, which,
though il would be great advantage to
Findlay, would nevertheless be ruincus 70
,heroad, and to those interested direct
" in it's success as stockholders. =.
With these facts in view I consider that
| il would be Improbable 10 locate the
road by Findlay If the necessary means
could be iaised on more favorable route
which presume can be done.
Let Lima be made point, from thence
I,o Kalida, and from thence, by Ottowa
or Medary, and crossing the Maumee

for crossing on The river, and continue on
