The Committee of Ways and Means
ask leave to report that they have fol-

The accounts Of the late treasurer
with the towns or their constables, relat-
ing to taxes, are full Of errors, both ways.
In some instances receipts are given for
money not credited, and in some instan-
ees money paid and no receipt given and
money not accounted for; and in one in
stance at least, money was credited which
never had been paid; and the committee
are of opinion that the treasurer himself
did not know how the accounts stood, and
did not dare to press the collection for
fear the errors might be detected. lie
has kept the accounts 50 very loosely for
a long time, that they are nov generally
mass Of uninlelligible confusion.

- Crrr1Na our HIS FAruER.-Me

ny CUTTING OUT HIS FATHER.-We
noticed few mornings ago, the elopement
of young couple from Barnesviile, Ohio,
who came here to the Metcalf House, and
went to West Alexander in hurry and
got married. This is only half of the
story, and by no means the best half 1t
seems that the father of the young man,
who lives near Barnesville, had been
counting his present daughter-in-law for
some time, and recently engaged himself
to her. Having great confidence in the
judgment of his son. he concluded to send
him down in the country where the young
lady resided, to take look ut her before
the solemnizatiou of the marriage cou-
tract. The son went down, and return
ing, announced himself Us highly pleased
with the young woman, but counselled u
short delay. He wanted time to learn
more of his "mother-in-law," and con-
tinued to visit her, apparently for that
purpose. The old mans surprise, when
he found that his son had eloped with the
girl and victimized his (the son's) conid-
ing parent, may be imagined.

From Mexico.

WASHINGTON, March I9.-The New Or
leans papers of Thursday, received here by
express, give details of the Mexican news
brought by the Star of the West.
Miramon approached Vera Cruz on the
9th ult., with 5000 men, a numerous train
of artillery and ammunition stores, and
eucampcd four miles from the city. The
headquarters were at Mcdelin. Miramon
several times surveyed the city from the
sand hills. His principal generals are
fed at his approach. The city was in the
best State of defence. The garrison was
composed of from 5000 to 1000 men,
we'll supplied in every respect. Gen.
Iglesias is in command, With APudia as
chief.
Col. Lane, an Euglishman, commands a
new sand fort recently erected near the
city, mounting six 81 Founders. 1t is
thought this fort will he able to resist the
approach of Miramon if the men are faith
full.
1t is stated that if MiramOn does not
guarantee full protection to the American
flag and the property of our citizens, Capt.
Jarvis will land 500 marines, armed with
MIME rifles. The Liberals and American
citizens were urging Capt. Jarvis to cap
ture Miramon's expedition, which he had
not decided to do when the TeviOt sailed.
Lieut. Carter, who had arrived at New
Orleans with dispatches for Washington,
saws that Vera Cruz was safe, but he thinks
Mirnmon will occupy Alvarado.
The Havana Djdr0 says Miramon has
from 5000 to 5000 uleu, well supported
with artillery.

WASHINGTON, March lS.-The IT1LRRes
Washington correspondence says that the
special committee of the House on the Pa
cifc Railroad discussed the various prop
oSitions yesterday and will resume the
subject tomorrow, with the intention of
taking n decisive vote on Tuesday. All
the indications warrant the belief that
they will report in favor of the roads; one
already begun under the auspices Of j..
Edgar Thompson, Mr., Stephens and vnri-
Gus Railroad men, and the other along
what is known as the Central route,
stretching from st. Louis to San Francisco
with IL branch extending to Oregon, in the
hands of Northern Railroad interest. The
committee has not reached the point of
the propositions of land and moncy'to be
appropriated, but the bill which cOntem-
plates two roads, proposes an advance of
81 900, 900 after the first fifty miles are
built and equipped, 10 Discontinued as each
other fifty miles is constructed, and the
government being secured hy an original
mortgage on the road and property.
Direct information was laid before the
Democratic Congressional Committee, on
Friday night, to the effect that every man
who registered his name at the Charleston
Hotel during the sitting of the Charleston
Convention, would be charged 500 per
day. An ordinary parlOr and chamber
will cost $4,000 per day.
The Senate and House have each passed
n bill to protect female passengers. 1t
only remains for either branch of Con-
gress to concur in the action of the other,
II matter more of form than ef substance,
as the two bills are similar in their provis-
ions. Such an arrangement will perhaps
he consummated during the present week.
The House to-day worked under the re-
Gently amended rules. The experiments
show that if strictly observed they will
effect marked improvement in tho man
ner of transacting business.
